In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileHi guys,
Ok, I finally have everythinhg running well.
Here’s where I’m at in this instalation process.
1.) XAMPP is running. Apache is running and MySQL within XAMPP.
2.)All otyher instances of MySQL, Apache, etc. I beleive are removed and everything seems to be running hapilly.Now, Ive got this WordPress Template Ive installed. Im using Bitnami currently. As recommended above, I installed XAMPP to see if it was easier to use in general formy needs.
Currently, the template is loaded and running well, but with barebones data. I am using BItnami to view this barebones template. Looks good, but no content/posts, etc.
The template came with some “sample data” that I want to import. It will give me a good headstart on the direction I want to take with my final project.
Ive got the .sql file that the template companmy told me to go grab -they call it a “dump file” Its supposed to contain all that sample data I so crave.
My questions are now as follows:
1.) How do I get this sample data imported (and update) the template I am currrently running (noted above) into XAMPP. I dont beleive at this point there is any connection/association to the existing project I have that I am seeing from within Bitnami.(Not sure how to tell XAMPP where to find this stuff and connect them??)
2.) When I work on this template locally, how do I “push/post/publish?” the local copy to my web server to see it live online?

In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileok now I am in PHPMYADMIN – cool! Ok, so I need to locate the install where BITNAMI has my current website theme installed? And then import the DUMP file there using PhPMyAdmin? Something like that lol?

In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileFollowed the instructs above…still cant get “Running” by MySQL 🙁 Do you think I screwed up the MySQL installation by doing another install (standalone) of MySQL prior? UUUG – thanks for all your help!

In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileRestarted my computer, then tried to run XAMPP CP – Clicked “Start” by MySQL and it shows “Running” for a second in green, then “Running” disapears. Staus reads: MySQL started [Port 3306] but it is not lit up in green above…
Also, when I click Admin of MYSQL it says : phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileThanks! But when I try and run Xampp, I have tried to click “START” to the rigt of MySQL and it shows as “Running” in green for about three seconds, then stops. Is this because I installed it as a seperate install fro MS website? Is it because Its alreasy using a port XAMPP is expecting to be abloe to use? I assume without this runing, I am dead in the water?

In reply to: Using PHP My Admin to import the dump fileOk, now I am oconfused lol….
Do I have to download MySql and install it on my PC?
Do I have to download PHPMyAdmin and install it on my PC?
Do I have to download PHP and install it on my PC?Do I really need to run a Bitnami local system to build this site….or is it acceptible to just build it live on the websierver? My host has a PHPMy Admin tool already available to use there…maybe that would be easier than doing it the way I am for a beginner?
