BobD Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I had an operating local server on my computer when it crashed. When restoring my backup image didn't work, I decided to start over. I reinstalled the latest Visual C ++, the latest wampserver v3.2.6, and TNGv13.1.2. I can connect the localhost/DSMtree/readme.html and follow the steps to Step 7 and then it stops. I think I remember from the past, I need to do something to phpmyadmin in wamp but can't remember what. Can anyone out there help me ?? I've been trying for a week and can't get it to work.

Ken Roy Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Bob, You may want to use the following WampServer site and download the Checks VC++ packages installed If you do not have all the correct VC++ Redistribution packages, then WampServer will not work correctly. The VC++ Redistribution packages must be installed before you install WampServer. If you have to Uninstall the WampServer, make sure you copy your files and databases to some location because the Uninstall from Microsoft Program Uninstall will delete the whole directory structure and then you are missing your web site data and databases. 3 hours ago, BobD said: I can connect the localhost/DSMtree/readme.html and follow the steps to Step 7 and then it stops You do need to create the TNG database before you run the full install, but if you have a backup of your database in the wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.nn\data folder you might be able to recover and use is. See Database - Creating for instructions on creating a local site database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 It finally looks like I got everything working except when I try to import my gedcom from my website, I get the error message " Your 'gedcom' folder may have inadequate permissions (try 755 or 777).

Ken Roy Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Bob, While you need to resolve why you cannot import data, it is not the recommended way of getting your site to a different location. See Why you cannot move a site by GEDCOM alone what TNG version and what PHP version are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ken, I'm using TNG v3.2.6 and php 7.4.26. I got my local server up and running. I just wanted to import the gedcom to make it both sites current . Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Bob, An import will not make your local site the same as your production site if you are using cemeteries and branches to name only 2 of the features not supported by export / import it is better to backup your data on the production site using the Admin > Utilities and then FTPing the backups to your local site and using the Admin > Utilities to restore the database entries. If you use Reports based on custom event IDs, you need to restore the custom event table before doing an import otherwise your reports will not work when you restore the reports table.

BobD Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Ken, I have 5 users on my online account but my local server has only 1. I did what you suggested but it didn't fix my problem. I still have only 1 user. Something is missing from my online backups. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Bob, It TNG Admin > Users shows 5 users, then you should go to Admin > Utilities and Backup the user table, FTP that backup to your local server and restore it The backup files are essentially CSV files so you should be able to view them. Of course if your online site and local servers are not at the same TNG versions, you may need to upgrade your online site to get the new user privilege that was added in TNG 13.1 that might have prevented the restore.

BobD Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thanks Ken, I'll check that. I think my online site is still v12.3 and localhost isv13.2. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Bob, If your production site is TNG 12.3, you could download the full install for TNG 12.3 and overlay your local computer with TNG 12.3 and then plan to upgrade both sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Ken, I did whet you suggested and reinstalled both my online and local server to the same version of TNG v12.3.0. Both seem to be working except my local server version opens to a different home page after login. When I login to my localhost the page (Localhost/DSMtree/admin_main.php) comes up to mainmenu1. When I change it to (Localhost/DSMtree/admin.php) it comes up mainmenu2. See attachments. My online site comes up mainmenu2 all the time.

Ken Roy Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 did you change our TNG domain in Admin > Setup > General Settings in the Site Design section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ken, I haven't changed anything in the Admin>Setup>General Settings. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Sorry but I am completely confused. I have no clue as to what you mean by mainmenu1 and mainmenu2. It is almost impossible to debug sites from screen captures Also admin_main.php is not a valid TNG URL but rather the button frame on the Admin Home page. the URL should be http://Localhost/DSMtree/admin.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ken, after I log in, the screen goes to the mainmenu1 (my name for that screen print) and the URL line reads http://localhost/DSMtree/admin_main.php. If I change the URL to http://localhost/DSMtree/admin.php (what you say it should be), the second screen mainmenu2 (my name for that screen print) comes up as you say the URL should be.

BobD Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ken, I also told you wrong. Both the online and local server are doing this same thing. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ken, Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem ?? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Bob, Not really since I do not understand what the problem. Sorry, I did not go back and re-read the whole thread. As I have said before the correct URL to access the Admin Home page is .../admin.php. Maybe you should open a new thread and describe what your problem is. I have a feeling we are not talking about TNG and WampServer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ken, I took some new screen prints that I hope will clear the confusion After I log in, the screen goes to the mainmenu1-1 (my name for that screen print) and the URL line reads http://localhost/DSMtree/admin_main.php. If I change the URL to http://localhost/DSMtree/admin.php (what you say it should be), the second screen mainmenu2-1 (my name for that screen print) comes up as you say the URL should be. I've also included a picture of some of the files that were unzipped from TNG v12.3.0 to my computer, with my File Explorer, and also exist on my Web site to help clarify what I'm asking. Hope this makes it clearer. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Bob, do have any mods installed? The URL to access the Administration page should NOT be http://localhost/DSMtree/admin_main.php If you are logged in and click the Administration link in the Info pull down it should go to http://localhost/DSMtree/admin.php What mods do you have installed and what manual changes have you made to TNG files?

BobD Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ken, I have not installed any mods or made any changes to any TNG files. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Then I certainly do not understand where your URL for the TNG Admin hope page using admin_main.php comes from since it has been admin.php since the time that Darrin eliminated the Admin folder and put all the files in the TNG root folder. The fact that this is on a local computer means we cannot access your site. Maybe someone else has some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ken, It is on my online account also. I can give you the URL so you can look at it if you'd like. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
