Re: Importing/copying a buddypress mirror locally using MAMP
Hey @aljuk – this was superb!
I am a newbie, but a newbie with endurance
I confess I was puzzled by your answer, but then asked the support staff of my hosting company to help me with steps one and two you listed.
But now I am stuck. On step 3, I understand I should use Notepad (Text Editor on MAC OS) to edit the wp-config.php file that I have downloaded doing step 1 (I’m copying the entire public_html folder using FTP).
Questions:
a) what are the specific modifications I should do on the wp-config.php file in my hard disk after the copying of the remote files?
b) how do I create a new local database? With MAMP? Which configurations should be set for this new database (never did that before)
c) how do I import the gzip backup of the remote database I made with phpMyAdmin?
