Troyski Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi all, As a complete nOOb, i've been working on ocs for the last couple of days at work developing our e-commerce site. I wanted to continue working on the site at home over the weekend, and transferred all (so i thought) the files on my works pc to a USB pen drive so i could work at home . However, when i go to log in, i get the new installation screen asking me to install a new shop - well i've already done that at work. Can anybody point me in the right direction on this? - i use Dreamweaver 8 both at work and home, and i thought this might be fairly easy, but obviousl not LOL! Thanks folks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Have you got a web server installed on your computer at home? Did you take a backup of the database so that you can set up a blank database on your local web server and then import the contents of the backup into it?

Vger Hi Vger, I'm using wamp5 on both works and home pc's, so i thought that if i transferred what i'd got on the pc at work to a pen drive, i could log in using my username and password on my home pc, and continue working on it. When you say a backup of the database, where/what should i be backing up to the pen drive? I copied the whole wamp folder at work (which i thought had all the php and config files) - am i mistaken? Thanks for the quick reply by the way! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Go to the osCommerce admin panel on your install at work, then go to Tools --> Backup, and download a backup to your pen drive (no compression). Then, at home, set up a blank database using phpMyAdmin, and then import the contents of the backup into it. Install your files, and then edit both configure.php files so that the DIR_FS pathways match your install at home, and also the DB Name, User Name and Password.

Have a great weekend Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
