    Hi,
    I am trying to get a copy of my live site running on my local PC
    but I cannot link to a copy of the original site dB. I am running
    WAMP 2.0 on Win 7.

    1. I installed WAMP and WP 3.5.2 locally.
    2. I down loaded live site dB from Dreamhost using phpMyAdMin
    3. On my PC I created a dB with the same name using phpMyAdMin
    and successfully loaded the downloaded dB ie no error message.
    4. I logged into localhost WP-Admin and see Hello World ;<
    ie no info/data from the downloaded db BUT I do have an empty dB.
    5. repeat process incl restart Wampserver 2.0- many times.
    same result…..
    Any ideas why I cannot see the dB on my local install ?

    Phew – big learning curve.

    I now understand the need to edit the wp-onfig
    and amend the $table_prefix to wp_xzwoxz_

    I have copied the exact table prefix from my live site
    wp-config file and put it in my local wp-config file.
    But when I attempt to open the localhost site I get a
    blank page with no error message……

    any ideas what I might try next ?
