Hi All,

I am trying to mirror my online site locally (for preliminary testing etc). I have downloaded everything from the server. All is well.

I have made a backup of my vB forum (vbulletin.sql). I have MySQL 4.0.12, php 4.3.1 and phpmyadmin 2.3.0 installed locally. I am running IIS and Win XP Pro SP1.

Apart from the vBulletin database the whole site works fine locally :)

How, and what do i need to do to setup a new db, new username and password, to get the forum running locally ?? Do i need to establish the settings that are already there in the config.php file in the admin directory ?

Cheers for your time and efforts :D

Paul
