Prior discussion here: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...ing-local-site
OK, I have followed instructions from various sources to upload a local copy of my existing website, and managed to successfully upload the zencart (green template) to my local server. I am now trying to follow the instructions to upload my existing website, but I'm not getting anywhere. I am using Xampp.
These are the steps I have taken to get my live website over the zencart template...
1) I copied the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files from the zencart files which were in the C:/xampp/htdocs/mystore and stored them elsewhere temporarily.
2) Using Filezilla, I copied all the files from my live website's public_html file and transferred them into c:/xampp/htdocs/mystore.
3) I went back to the temporarily stored includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files from number 1) above, and moved them back to override the same named files that were my existing live website.
4) I created a new local database in phpmyadmin, and exported the database from my existing website and imported into the local database.
Now I am at a loss as to what to do. I have seen posts which advise that I need to make changes to both of the configure.php files but I cannot access these from the url (http://localhost/mystore/includes/configure.php. I am getting an Access Forbidden error 403. Once I can access these, what changes do I need to make??
Also, I cannot find the fix_cache_key.php file to complete the steps for that.
Thx
