Help migrating a site to a new laptop. Using Wampserver on win11.

[ad_1]

Hi all,

I’ve followed the instructions I found online:

* Exported the mysql db. Copied to stick.
* Copied the site folder from “www” folder. Also copied to stick.
* I then imported the db into phpmyadmin and pasted the site folder into “www” (on the new laptop).

The problem is when I try to open the localhost site address I get this reply:

​

Yes, I’m sure it exists.

Yes, the user root has permission. All privileges are selected.

Any help would be much appreciated.
