Roger: I just set up a copy from my web server site to a local site. I didn't realize that the .htaccess file wasn't copied. Perhaps that happened to you. Good luck, Bill

I have copied the mysql database to a new drupal installation also the /default files, image files, /modules, etc

I have altered settings.php to show the login

Now I get 'Site off line' due to technical problems

I'm stuck, what have I missed, what do I need to get the new installation to read the copied server files and database which is the same name. thanks Roger -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Test out your MySQL installation closely outside of Drupal. A couple weeks a go I fought with a site offline issue that turned out in the end to be a problem with the vm host that MySQL was running on.
