From live to localhost. Error500 and blank page

[Lano]

 

Hi, I just created an online shop on local. I uploaded it, checked it and everything worked fine. I had to do some minor changes in style, I did them by ftp on the server itself, didnt work on local for that changes. 

Now I have big changes coming up, so I decided to set the local environment to work locally before uploading. 

Fot that, I decided to download the latest version of my prestashop online by ftp and installed MAMP. 

My steps were the following: 

- Installation of prestashop 1.6.1.18 in htdocs folder. 

- Creation of databse on PHPmyAdmin. 

- Database and prestashop linked. Tables from ps installed. 

* in this step i go to localhost:8888 and can see default-bootstrap theme. The BO works perfectly as well. 

Now the tricky part where I must be failing somewhere: 

I copy the folders (img, upload, download, modules, mails and themes from my server) to my localfolder on htdocs. 

In PHPmyAdmin I go to the database and change the value of the tables: 

- ps_configuration, ps_shop_url, ps_shop_domain, ps_shop_ssl 

I put localhost:8888 instead of my live website. I get an error 500. If i change the value to localhost, it just goes to a web that says "It works". 
 

At this point I tried to import my live database to the local one. No changes. 

I left it the way prestashop left it with the instalation a link with my localhost. No changes either. 

After this, I check settings.inc.php and nothin, my values are ok, I tried with the root user and with the one I created. Nothing. I get an error 500. 

When i try to access the backoffice the issue is that no style is loaded. No images nothing. Just plain text with the login form on text. 

I´ve been looking diferent approaches to this error, but nothing seems to work. 

 

Im totally lost now, thank you for your time and sorry for my english level.

I also erased HTACCESS so, the problem must be somewhere else.
