Hi,
For using the working copy of WordPress from the server to localhost you can follow following steps: 1. Export the database from your server and import it in your local MySQL server and copy the files and paste it in the /PATH/TO/AMPPS/www/ folder 2. Change the URLs and paths of your server in the database. 3. Change the database settings in the wp-config.php according to your database and make other required changes in the same file. 4. Then you can Import it to AMPPS using the following guide: http://ampps.com/wiki/How_to_Import_an_Installation 5. Now you can make changes and then while uploading you can upload all the files except the wp-config.php and import the new database with the changes made for the URLs and paths. ----------------------- Webuzo - Multi User Hosting Control Panel AMPPS - Best WordPress/PHP/MySQL development tool |

Hi,
Duplicator Plugin for WordPress is working with AMPPS too. Sir if you have created a new database user for this installation then some privileges might be missing. Else you can try working with root user. MySQL Default "root" password is "mysql" in AMPPS. ----------------------- Follow AMPPS on, Twitter : https://twitter.com/AMPPS_Stack Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/softaculousampps Google+ : https://plus.google.com/+AmppsStack |

AMPPS does indeed work with the "Duplicator" plugin!
Here's what I did: 1. From the Duplicator plugin window in Wordpress admin, I created a package and downloaded it and the installer (install.php). Note: if you're on Mac, the package may automatically be unarchived; however, you need the actual zip file for the installer to work. 2. In the AMPPS folder there's another folder labeled 'www'. I created a subfolder there and labeled it 'wp-test'. I then placed both the zip file (package) and the installer (install.php) in that folder. 3. After starting up AMPPS, I opened a browser and went to: http://localhost/wp-test/ 4. The newly opened index (browser window) lists the installer and the package. I clicked on the installer (install.php) and when it opened, I filled out the necessary fields. There's a very brief tutorial here. 5. Under the database section, I created a 'Name' for the database, but I used the term 'root' for the 'User' field and 'mysql' for the 'Password' field -those two entries ('Username' = 'root' and 'Password' = 'mysql') were the key to making the installation work for me. 6. After making sure all the entries were correct, I clicked the 'Install' button and it worked. I now have an exact copy of my blog at my 'localhost' where I can do all the testing I need to do before going live. Sincere thanks for the help! AMPPS is truly a great product; I would definitely recommend it! |
