Greetings:

I am trying to use Xampp to bring down my site to my computer (F:, an external disc) from a remote host in order to test/try things safely, away from main site online.

Here are the steps I took and the errors I got, which I need help with.

1. Installed xampp - done
2. downloaded files through ftp - all good except awstat folder  for which the ftp message was such folder was not found. I downloaded this folder direcly from my host control panel and added it to the other files/folders I could download with ftp.  Found my repository folder and added it as I did with awstat folder. - done
3. Created a folder in htdoc in xampp and Pasted all the files/folders to it - done
4. Created a database and imported the downlided sql file to it- done
5. Changed configuration file: DB name, local host to root,DB pass, errased all from private URL - done

Question: I get this error as a result: "Elxis repository folder logs does not exist!" I have tried to rename the folder to "repository" and that did not help me either. What am I doing wrong? I will very much appreciate any hint in a no scary no-technical language :). Thanking you in advance !!!

The default name of this folder is 'repository' so you have to leave the proper field
empty from the global settings of your Elxis CMS installation. Check this link [1] if you
want to change the name and/or path of repository folder.

Thanks a lot !!!

I changed its name to what it was originally on the remote server. Locally in xampp, I changed the path which looks like this now:
   private $REPO_PATH = '/F:/xampp/htdocs/pamirtop/the repository folder name';

now it gives me a server error 500 and says "The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/web/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly. :(

webgift:
Change this on
private $REPO_PATH = '/F:/xampp/htdocs/pamirtop/the repository folder name';
to:
private $REPO_PATH = '';
... and try again ... ;)

Nuts:
with  --    private $REPO_PATH = '';  -- it takes me back to this error "Elxis repository folder logs does not exist!"  :'(
