Transferring a C5 site from production server to localhost
Permalink
Hello all, I wonder if someone would be able to help me.
I would like to transfer a C5 site from the live production server to my local Xampp installation.
When I have performed this process in reverse (i.e. localhost to production) I have no problems. I simply transfer the necessary files and then reset the password via email. The email reset seems necessary as I cannot login without it (something to do with the password salt I presume?).
The issue with going from production to localhost is that I cannot perform the password reset - Xampp doesn't seem to have the facility to allow sending emails.
Does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks,
Clare

Looking in the log table is one solution and works well.

My favoured method is to use phpMyAdmin to view the log table and find the copy of the password email there.
