I'm confused.
I wish to recreate our drupal 6.19 server web site on my home pc. I used Backup and Migrate on our server drupal web site and downloaded a copy to my home pc.
I read the Backup and Migrate drupal pages before proceeding.
I did a fresh install on my home pc of drupal 6.19 with a database named the same as the server database. I used the same password and username. Used Backup and migrate to put the data into the home pc installation. Nothing worked, it was blank. I logged out as administrator and find that Log in fails because it does not recognise the password.
What am I doing wrong? How can I recreate an exact copy of everything, including themes, changes to themes, images and everything else on the server to my home pc? Help much appreciated Thanks Roger
must have been working a bit to be able to login as administrator? Did you try clearing the cache?

A fresh install doesn't replicate all the themes and modules that you may have installed on your web server. So, either you download them all too and put them in place or, if you have shell access on your server, you zip the whole directory that contains Drupal and bring it to your computer.
Also, even you copy it all and have databases with the same name, you'll probably have a different mysql user, password and, maybe even, host (some web hosts do not use localhost). So you'll always have to customize the settings.php file accordingly.

Check your php error logs. Make sure you are logging errors as set in php.ini, or set them to display in the browser if you wish.

You also need the "backup and migrate files" module to save your modules, themes and files.
