I'm trying to copy my site to a localhost, both as a backup and so I learn how to set up a local host.

I copied my entire website folder to wamp/www directory on local. I know I have to modify my settings.php file on my localhost to point to the database correctly. I downloaded my database to the root directory of my site, so it's in the same place as index.php.

When I try to load site with WAMP I get the following error:

The mysqli error was: Access denied for user 'nathansf1'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

I just started using Drupal last month and was buzzing along when my computer got a virus. I backed up my Drupal site (with modules) and the database no problem.

Today, I attempted to re-install the project onto WAMPserver and ran into a problem.

1) I drop the project into the www file. OK. Go to PHPMYADMIN to install the backed-up database and get the following error message.

Error

SQL query:

I'm trying to install local site on WAMP and I posted all my files to wamp/www/sitename/ and I created database using MyPHP. However when I try to install Druapl and type database name and root for login with blank password, it's telling me: Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Access denied for user 'root '@'localhost' (using password: NO).

It seems as everything is correct. Is it possible for me to create a user I can use and leter upload the database or why is it not accepting root user login? Thank you.

I'm trying to install a copy of my website on my computer, to test before upgrading Drupal (from 6.16). The tutorials I found were not exactly what I needed, and I'm a beginner at this. I gave it a try, but have hit a brick wall.

Here's what I have done:

I copied a website to a WAMP server and everything ran normally. When one come to log in, you are requested to enter username, password, and a request to enter the captcha image which does not show up. In order to be able to login one must disable the status of Captcha to 0 from the database, so that only username and password are requested. The captcha image appears normally on the production server. This could have happened during the process of copying the the site to WAMP, as there are a lot of find and replace process is done in the database.

I have a good implementation of my Drupal site cooking at my ISP, I don't want to mess it up. So I decided to install WAMP on my Windows 7 machine and make a few Drupal sites to monkey around with ideas, take drupal7 for a spin, try new modules, and the most important...upgrading drupal practice... or is that recovering the whole site from a total meltdown?

I'm trying to install Drupal 6.14 onto my Windows Vista 32 bit system. I have WAMP installed which gives the needed Apache, MySQL, PHP, and PHPMyAdmin, and I have my local server running.

I created a new database called drupal614 and a user with the same name (plus a password). I Then downloaded Drupal 6.14 and dragged it into c:/wamp/www where I extracted the files and renamed the folder drupal614.

I have been running a Drupal site for a few months now, and I have to say, it is awesome!

Anyway, I decided to do some major redesigning, so I copied the live site to my local server to work and test on. This went fine.

I have a site I built for my best friend and church. It was a subdomain off my host so we decided it was time to move it to his own host. I backed up the PHP database through PHP admin and file structure. Logged in and copied it to the new host and setup the db. Now what I think I might have done wrong is I used Simple Scripts to do the intial install then copied over the top of it. I think maybe that could have screwed it up.
