Opening Prestashop in Dreamweaver

[Microame]

I want to edit my existing site in Dreamweaver and use Xampp as a local server. For that I have downloaded the copy of all the files from the web server and put in htdocs in xampp. But it is not connecting with dreamweaver.

 

I have specified the local file folder in dreamweaver, specified the server name, server folder etc. But still not connecting.

 

Could anyone help me to connect?

 

Thanks In advance.

if you downloaded your production shop to work locally then you will need to change a couple things

 

1) change db settings in config/settings.inc.php

 

2) change the url from back office-->preferences-->seo & urls-->Set shop url (typically this will be localhost but not always)

Thanks for your reply.

 

1, What setting should I change? In config/settings.inc.php  db is defined as follows.

 

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');

 

2, Without opening the shop in my local server I cant change the url setting otherwise it will affect the shop, isn't it?
