BackUp entire site

[c8620p]

I've download the entire site to work it offline.
I transfered the MySQL database make the arrangements about the user, ok.
Ihave problem with the forum database but I think it has to do with the encoding (utf-8), I'll see about it later.
The question is:
The site in the server is under "public_html" directory.
When I download it do I have to create the same directory in my local server or what else?
Thanks

no, you don't, just make changes accordingly to config.php. And DB name...

Your backup of files must be placed at the root folder.
To your website you have to edit some lines at the configuration file.

Code: [Select]

$mosConfig_host = '';
$mosConfig_user = '';
$mosConfig_password = '';
$mosConfig_db = '';
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '';
$mosConfig_live_site = '';
And if you are used to editing a MySQL local, edit the absolute paths for you new website.

I 'll try to make it so.
