ReeceSayer Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi, We've recently purchased a website at work and have it up and running on the previous owners server at a cost, we can't have FTP access to this for some reason so attempting any changes is a pain. I've got the files from the owner and am trying to set them up on WAMP to ensure that i can move over and setup / develop when needed. I received 3 files which i'll list below: SQL file SITENAME.com Folder PHP Folder Initially i thought that i should merge the php and sitename folders together (which i did) - this allowed the majority of things to work on the front end of the site but then when i went to go to the admin directory /admin/ i received a tonne of errors about missing filepaths etc. trying to resolve appears to lead me around 30 different files which i need to change a require_once function on. I'm thinking it's got to be easier than this but obviously i'm not entirely sure what i'm supposed to do with said folders? Anyone have any ideas? (and apologies if this isn't in the correct category.) Thanks, Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Have you thought about asking the developer who wrote the code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeceSayer Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yes - I have but he wants to charge an additional fee - I'd prefer to solve this myself. I set the include_path in php.ini to the php folder which seemed to resolve most issues. I can see everything working perfectly on the front end and can now access the login page on the back end but i can't login. I'll ask the developer again to see what they can do.
