Good news at last, on the Dirk Maggs website front. I have managed to get on my local server the database and all the support files that make up the backup copy of the main Dirk Maggs website working.
I had a lot of trouble getting the SQL database dump reinstalled into the mysql server and the new database that I had setup, mainly due to two reasons the first being I don't know mqsql very well.
The second the error message that came up was of no use to me as I did not understand what it was telling me. I have to say even using google it took a while to find an answer that I understood and even more time and searching to understand what and how to do the correction to clear the fault.
I then had another hour or so trying to get concrete5 to see my database.
Restating the machine was a good idea as it also helped get things going and it's sad to say that restarting was indeed one of the suggestions.
So I have a working copy of the website, which is good the only thing that does not work is the site themes which is not working, for some reason or other.
The other thing that does not work is in the dashboard some of the functions do not work, the good news is that all the content appears to be there, which is a great thing.
I don't yet know what to do next.
