Having been using Softaculous 2.x for a while on my Windows Vista PC, running it as a testbed for my server-based website packages before uploading them to various webspaces I manage, I've recently been having a problem with the AmppsUpdate function crashing. I therefore thought of re-installing my local server on my PC. I therefore made a full copy of the Ampps directories, including the www and MySQL folders, since I had successfully done that with other similar standalone webservers, with the intention of copying back the folders once I'd successfully re-installed Ampps.
I noticed that Ampps was now in version 3, and so have instead downloaded that and installed it in a new sub-directory, again copying back the various web and MySQL folders, checking and they appear to work within my 'localhost' environment.
However, unlike my version 2 server in which I had installed the various Joomla, WordPress and other packages, I do not have any installed packages shown on the 'http://localhost/ampps/index.php?act=installations' page. This is because I had not re-installed the various local sites through the new Softaculous interface, I presume.
Is there any way to import in the various scripts now sitting on my 'localhost' server, without having to re-install everything from scratch, given that that would also entail importing in and installing various themes and data to my numerous Joomla and Wordpress testbeds and local development mirrors?
