![]() I have been unable to find a tip or video that actually goes through the steps (completely as if for a newb) of: backing up a live site using Akeeba Backup -> ftp the. Since then I have deleted all the extracted files and am getting even further away from a working model. ![]() The Akeeba Backup (through Kickstart) did not finish the Restoration process so I'm thinking there will be numerous files within the site that will not work as they should. in fact when I enter newdev:8888/index.php it took me to my live site. checked out the newdev Folder inside of Sites and it looks like all of my files from my live site had been extracted - but I can't access the new local site from my browser. However, on another tab was the Clean-Up option so I clicked on the Clean-Up button and it seemed to work. I read the recommended link info and it didn't clear anything up for me.Īt this point I was trying to find a way to reverse the process, or at least get out of it, but found nothing. With these settings I was given the error code "Unable to connect to the Database: Could not connect to MySQL. Table Name Prefix: I left as the default as it appeared Username and PW: the new ones set up locally when I set up the new DBServer Host Name (lets call it newdevguy and PW as XXXX The next screen I used the following settings: I left it as was as per the instructions on that page. I renamed the kickstart.php as was recommended and entered newdev:8888/newdev/corekickstart.php and was led to the restoration page -> got through the first few steps ok, with the only issue being the Output Buffering was in the Off position. I then have an index.php file inside the new host and when I enter newdev:8888/index.php it says I'm ready to go (or something like that!) I set up a new database and called is newdev (for consistency) with a New User and PW The next instructions were where I think I've messed up. The host folder is on the same level as the localhost folder, as was also recommended. The host folder resides in my Sites folder on my HD. I have been able to create a new host - for the sake of this discussion I will call it newdev. This is where I have faultered, as most of the videos I have reviewed outline how to set up a new site in MAMP and leave out the link between starting MAMP and working on an existing site. Downloaded and started MAMP Pro (recommended over the basic MAMP). ![]()
