Copy and Paste a Drupal site from online server to localhost
Ok. So I am pretty new to drupal. I recently had my site crash, and I started totally over. It is now back up and running. But now I have decided that I would like to copy the live version and paste it to a localhost so I can try out modules before going live.
I know I'm doing this backwards. I should have started the other way.
Anyway, I have cpanel and I used it to backup the sql database. When I used MyPHPadmin to import it to my localhost it had an error.
Then I used myPHPadmin on the cpanel to export, then imported with MyPHPadmin. That worked.
I copied my home directory to the localhost.
When I installed Drupal and go to the home page I get the following error message:
warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'i18nblocks_theme_blocks' was given in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/includes/theme.inc on line 617.
Repeated 5 times.
My blog posts are there, the menu is there. There is no theme, everything is just LEFT justified.
Here is my status report online:

Are you saying that you ran
Are you saying that you ran the installation script again on localhost? That shouldn't be necessary. I would:
- Export the database on live server
- Import the db on localhost
- Copy all files (Drupal root folder and everything below, make sure .htaccess is also copied) from the live server to localhost
- If necessary, adjust the db settings in settings.php manually
That should usually work. If it doesn't, don't forget to check the apache/php error logs.
Yes I did run the
Yes I did run the installation script again. So I started over. I cleared out the home directory and database. RE-imported, and RE-copied the files over including .htaccess.
I then adjusted the settings.php.
One extra step I had to do was up the memory usage in conf/php5/php.ini to 48MB rather than only 8.
Now it is working! Thanks!
Does 48 sound high or is that normal?
Glad that it's working. Some
Glad that it's working.
Some sites can do with less than 48, others need more... 48 is not exceptional I guess. Search this site for memory_limit, a lot has been said about it already.
