Problem running a backup copy on the local server
By Abdulaziz
I'm trying to run a copy of my old site on the local server, but the site appears like this: https://ibb.co/M8CkmnX
When entering any topic, the page appears in this way: https://ibb.co/n3DGLyb
Also, after pages such as the login page, it appears like this: https://ibb.co/PZYkJpc
I am using wamp as a local server
I have modified all settings in the file settings

I would like to add another note I made a new version as an experiment and indeed the new version works fine

After I ran the script on the local server, it works, but some functions include adding comments and drop-down lists Almost all of the things that depend on JavaScript don't work The strange thing is that it was making a name and I did not make any modifications
You must log in to post replies.Read https://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/admin/duplicate-installation.html
or https://learn.elgg.org/en/2.3/admin/duplicate-installation.html
or the instructions corresponding to your Elgg version.
You need to change some entries in settings.php and/or the database (what and where to change depends on the Elgg version) for Elgg to find its install and data directory (e.g. for cached files also like CSS etc. that are not to be found according to your images and therefore it looks like it does). You might also want to delete the cache folders in the data directory you have moved (not the user data but only the caching folders) as they might still contain references from the site with paths not matching the local server installation. The cached files will get recreated automatically.
I have done these steps but this problem is still there
In fact, I want the files and blogs. Is there a way to view them or copy them to a new copy?
Suddenly, the site is working, but the problem is that the files that were on the site cannot be downloaded: https://ibb.co/1f4gt9z
You made fatal mistakes while updating/transferring the site.
Also, your problem is on the localhost, not the production server.
So it's not all critical, IMO.
In the future, follow the Elgg instructions or ask in advance how to start the site migration.
So, check the error logs, fix them, or hire admins who know how to fix it.
