Hello Every one,
I am extremely new to Xampp and joomla, i am currently writing my dissertation and decided to create a site using Joomla.
The problem i have is. I have the joomla site in a zip file ( my last computer died but i had a copy) i have installed xampp on my other pc and FTP to my local host, deleted the old joomla site that was there (this was a test site i made just playing around) i then uploaded the new site that i have in the zipfolder, which is massive (7000+ files) to localhost or 127.0.0.1. After the upload has finished i go to my local host and the OLD test site that i made ages ago and just deleted still remains. I have no idea what to do i have looked on every page possible but stil no luck.
in a nut shell, i want to put the new website on xampp which i have in a zip folder, however the original test site i made ages ago still comes up when i go to my local host or 127.0.0.1 or even different sub directories, no matter how many times i delete it.
Originally, i was going to put the site on my university server, i connected once to it earlier to day, but now i cant connect and it says something about there being too many connection from this ip?
I have played around with htdocs in xampp as i noticed this was where the old site resided, but now i dont even know how i can get back to the xampp home page where i access myphpadmin..
can anyone PLEASE help? I uderstand i may have repeated a post but i have searched all day for a result and i cant get it!
I need to be able to demostrate the site i have produced some how, xampp and a webserver is proving difficult!
thankyou in advance!
