Hello all,

Ik tried to copy my new made drupal site which is made with Drupal 7 in windows 7 with the Aquia Drupal stack. I found on the internet a howto to move the complete site, however when I do all those things and try to reach the site I get the install mode of the website I copied.

Please does anyone has any idea ???

Thank you very much,

The link you posted is not working for me at the moment, however, I'm assuming it's has to do with your 'sites' folder. How did you access the 'old' site and how are you accessing the new site.
For example:
Old: http://localhost/mydrupalsite
New: http://mydomain.com

And what is the current location of your site's settings.php file? is it /sites/default/settings.php or /sites/yoursite.com/setting.php?

If you move your site's settings.php file into the default folder, you should see your site.

Hallo Gerrit,

Unfortunately it still doesn't work, I already did what you proposed however its still not working. Ik also changed the settings.php file.

Befor putting it online I would like to run it in a subdirectory www.mydomain.nl/temp so do I need to change the host name in de settings.php file ?

Ik copied the settings file as you described in the default flder laso tried it in the sites/mydomain.nl folder.

So please advice what am I doing wrong ?

Thank you very much up front,

André van Stijn

http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate has a 7.x version.

Use this to import your old site into the new installation. Your getting the install screen because the new data base does not match the old one.
