I have been trying to get an Xcloner backup of a hosted wordpress site to restore onto my mac (yosemite) running wordpress on a Bitnami stack.
I create a new database and after the restore runs I change the 'home' and 'siteurl' records in the options table to be http://127.0.0.1:808...../wordpress
I edit the wp-config.php file to use the new database name, user and localhost
I clear out the .htaccess file
I think I am doing everything right!
When I try to access the site I get 'Cannot connect to database' error.
I am mystified as to why this is happening and wonder if anyone can help.
Incidentally, an Akeeba restore of the same site works perfectly.....
Thanks,
Craig
