    Default backup site problem

    Hi,

    I'm trying to backup a live site to my desktop computer(WAMP5 installed).
    I followed the Switch Server in Wiki (http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Switch_Servers), but it doesn't works for me(no connection, just blank page).

    I did notice there are two things different,
    1. there's no .httaccess in the backup files, the hosting server hide them. I used filezilla.
    2. in the step 5 : when I import database from backup, it compalin the database is existed. I have to delete the database(not just DROP tables), then I can import from the backup. Do I need to use different database name when intalling in my desktop computer ?

    Thanks
    Eric

    Default Re: backup site problem

    I found out what was wrong, it's just a stupid mistake.
    When exporting database, I want to select ADD DROP TABLE but I checked ADD DROP DATABASE.
    Haha, spent so much time on that.
