I recently installed XAMPP (Linux version of LAMPP) on my computer. I would like to have a working copy of my site running
on my computer for debug and development purposes . As I am still somewhat of a Newbie, I have some questions.
1. After I create a database with the appropriate name, on the
local host, can I then use the EXPORT function from my live
web site and then the IMPORT function at localhost? This
would be using phpMYAdmin.
2. Do I really need to run the Zen Cart install and then copy files
from my live site, or can I just copy the files from my live site
and store them on the localhost? This assumes that the
configuration files both point to the proper database name.
I really would prefer to not have to go through the Zen Cart install
process as I have several modifications to the database tables
and to the php code that I really don't want to have to duplicate.
If anybody has some help, or knows of a good tutorial, I would
appreciate the help. Thanks.
