I want to setup a local server to test my XOOPS development. I have php/mysql/apache/phpmyadmin All working fine. I have downloaded and installed XOOPS and it is fully working.

What i'd like to do is download the server (live) version the site so i can have an exact copy on my local network. I tried downloading thw whole public directory but this did not work. Is there any way to download the ful live working site to my local network??

For having a local 'clone' of your web site you should have the entire content of html folder, the content of your database and also a modified mainfile.php with your local info. Be careful to *not* upload the local mainfile.php...

Read this thread.

I originally wrote this tutorial for working with XSAS; however, it will work with any local server environment.

Good Luck!
