Hi,
All sorted and installed so gonna work on copying accross etc.

Sorry if it got a bit confusing back there, I had several chats with my web host yesterday and they completely mixed everything up for me.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me!

Thanks
A

Not sure if you got this fixed, but it is worth remembering/knowing that you can can log into mysql via the command line. This can be useful to troubleshoot exactly what is going wrong - user, password, database.

I clone my sites often, to open up new, complementary webshops. All are on different domains, but are functionally just copies of each other. I've got the process down to less than 8 minutes now... (largely by using the help listed in Dr Byte's post above).
