Local transfer of my site

[polaije]

Hi,

 

I need to have my prestashop site installed locally before trying to upgrade Prestashop.

 

What I did :

 

1) I took a copy of all www and copy it to my www local.

 

2) From prestashop backoffice I took a sql script of my BD

 

3) Locally I had Mysql installed with two database Presta1 and presta2 and I have restored my BD to presta2 (script does not create the database, just drops the tables). The BD user is root without any password.

 

4) I have modified the settings config file to have the correct BD, user and password.

 

What happen after this :

 

I can open the backoffice and display all my products after recreating a new password for prestashop.

But when I try to display my front office I receive :

Error establishing a database connection

 

Strangly I do'nt receive this error when I use the other table Presta1.

 

I have analysed the table ps_configuration to detect if I do'nt have any value with my remote site.

 

Where can I have a look, log files or else, to detect what is going wrong ?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

you need to update your configuration file in settings.inc.php with your ned data (dbname, dbhost, user and pass)
