XF 2.1 Trying to move a site to localhost

[Matt C.]

I downloaded all my files and moved them to localhost. I exported the database file and imported it into PHPMyAdmin.

After putting the database details in the config file, I get this error:

The site is currently being upgraded. Please check back later.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you get that message for your main site or for the localhost one?

Did you navigate to (type in the browser bar) localhost/install to see if you can access the upgrade page? Or localhost/admin.php for that matter?

I only get it for localhost. And tried going to /install and login but it says my user can't be found.

You have to use the superadministrator account to access it. Or maybe re-check again if you connected the right database with the right files. Also if you change your credentials in the config file, better turn off/on the SQL and PHP server to have an immediate effect.

Copying a site from a production server to localhost should just work with no issues.

If it doesn't, it generally indicates there has been an issue baking up and/or copying the database and/or files.
