First off, I am new to Drupal. I started a test site on my one and one server for a client so they could see my progress. I have now figured out that 1and1 is a huge mistake when working with drupal. I will end up moving the site to a different host later but for now I would like to make a backup on my mac and play around with the site a bit.

I found another post talking about this issue but it did not work. Here is what I have done so far.

1. Exported database from 1and1
2. Imported into database using mamp myphpadmin
3. Downloaded all files stored on server and placed them in a folder called hope-floats in htdocs
4. Changed data base info in the settings.php file as well as the base URL to /hope-floats
5. I changed some script in the .htaccess file and an apache conf file

This is the file that I followed: http://drupal.org/node/232460

I get a blank screen when I navigate to the localhost folder on my computer.

??? I need some help with this. If anyone knows what I can do.. please help drupal 6

thanks in advance...

I have followed some of the memory steps. I have changed the memory settings everywhere I possible could. In the php.ini files, .htaccess, settings.php. It is still blank. I tried to add some php to the index page for error reporting but that is not working either.

Any more ideas on what to try next?

Could it be a problem with some of the settings that I put in the settings.php file when I originally moved the site to my localhost? I tried to follow the steps exactly but I may have done something wrong?

Thanks

I am running multiple other sites on my localhost including a few other drupal sites so I know it is not a problem with mamp. Just some more info..
thanks
