Running Joomla 1.5.15, XCloner version from yesterday. Backed up a sailing club website successfully and downloaded the archive to latest WAMP 2.2A to make a local copy.
Tested XCloner Restore with a template standard local Joomla copy on WAMP and it worked perfectly.
Tested XCloner Restore with downloaded archive and Firefox says "You have chosen to open XCloner.php which is a php File (38.1 kB from http://localhost
What should Firefox do with this file?"
If I click on it I get another browser window opening and a listing of the contents of XCloner.php but no restore.
If I click on the PHP Info button I get the same result.
I have looked on the forum but cannot see any easy answers to this. The local tests went perfectly! What am I doing wrong?

From the looks of it, php scripts are not being processed by your server, so try and recheck that, could be a missconfiguration. Delete as well any present .htaccess file

Thanks for that tip :). Something is happening as I now get the message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION in C:\wamp\www\html\joomla\configuration.php on line 18
Which I discovered was because I thought the " ' " was a comment marker but discovered that "#" should be used for php files.
Now it sort of starts and I get 500 - Layout "default" not found. This is torture!!
Do you have any other good ideas?

I finally found the problem, it was Xcloner.! I have no idea why.
Here's what I did. A ftp manual download and manual export of the databases and then it all worked perfectly straight away on the localhost site (with the standard modifications to configuration.php. That cost me a week of hair pulling and feeling stupid.
