If i have a local install should I just be able to back up my live install database

only and then upload it to the local install to view it.



(Both on the same version of cs-cart)



Or is there more to it than that.



I have done it but any link take me to the live site so ??



This was with data and schema.



Also should there technically be any need to involve the schema in any of this?

This should work.



I prefer to dump the database with schema and import into an empty database - this assures that I have an exact duplicate of the database with no difference in schema (unfortunately, there are sometimes minor discrepancies between an upgraded database and one created by a fresh install).

And it still works okay with this ??



Should they not both be exactly the same?



Mind that said I am not exactly sure even what a schema is. I assume it is how the tables relate.

My live restored to local install does not show any thumbnail images nor does ithave any side boxes.:confused:

I must have been up too late.



You will need to copy /images from your live site to get the images. You will also need to copy /skins/YOURSKIN/customer/blocks/locations to get your blocks (sideboxes).
