Migration to localsite database issues
-
I am trying to setup a test environment using Xampp using localsite and am experiencing issues when I import the database dump from my WordPress site.
I have copied over the contents of the root directory into the relevant folder on http://localsite/wp and am able to access the WordPress control panel and verify the structure, themes, plugins etc are all copied across.
I then deleted the current table and imported the sql dump via phpmyadmin. Then changed the wp-config file to point to the new database, and password. I have also changed the URL in wp_options via phpmyadmin to http://localsite/wp and then restart the server via Xampp.
When I refresh the http://localsite/wp where the install has been located I get a stripped out version of site with all formatting and images removed and am just left with the text and links.
When i try and login via wp-login.php I get web page unavailable and am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong as I have read everything I can find regarding database migration and restore both here and on the web in general.
Any advice or assistance would be gratefully received as to what I am doing wrong or why this is happening?
