Can you elaborate with details on the exact issues you're experiencing? What types of error messages are you getting?

If by "on live" you mean on an online server, I suspect you have not edited the sites/default/settings.php file.
Go to settings.php and locate these lines

* Database URL format:
* $db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
* $db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasename';
* $db_url = 'pgsql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
*/
$db_url = 'mysql://yourXamppDBUsername:YourXamppDBPassword@localhost/YourXamppDBUsername;
$db_prefix = '';

Replace those Xampp values with those on YOUR ONLINE SERVER, ie the Online DB name, username, PWD and of course host IF it is NOT "localhost".

It should work after that. I use Xampp as well & I never get any issues in that area.

I hope it helps.

Dose it make a difference whether you use Xampp or Wamp?

Not at all.
Xampp is a web server like WAMP. Some people use/prefer WAMP; I use & prefer Xampp.
