Test mode in WAMPSERVER - Database not linked

[rbbang2002]

Hi ,


I tried following the whole process in the video of the migration of Prestashop to 1.4

I have put all the files and the Database to WAMP server .

When I go to localhost/test >>> Test being the test folder in WAMP

I get a error Link to database cannot be established.

I have changed added the folder name " test " to settings.ini file .

Do I have to add anything more after in this sentence ?

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/test/');

if not , where am I going wrong.

I am trying to upgrade from 1.3.6 to 1.4.3

If you have not already, try with these settings:

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');
define('_DB_USER_', 'root');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', '');

The first time I did this, I had the same problem and this turned out to be my mistake.

i am assuming you have copied the settings from your live site, and perform an export of the database, and imported to your local wamp database?

if so, then you need to do what 4140 has suggested, and change the settings file so it points to your localhost database, and not the live sites database.

I am having the same issue with my Xampp server. Could you tell me where I can find the settings file.

config folder

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the suggestion but I am still getting the same message. I shall keep trying.

I am still working on this issue and at the moment I am getting the following message 'the database selection cannot be made'. I am assuming that this is something to do with the database name.

I have my files stored in a 'test_site' folder with Xammp. Would test site then become the database name?

Dreamweaver is trying to access the db via this path 'http://localhost/test_site/index.php'.

Any advice would be gratefully received.
