My predecessor had created and modified a lot of the php/etc for our old website. I am taking our current database and migrating into to a newer version of WP that our central office is using: 4.1.1
I am on a mac/mamp: I have created a new database in phpmyadmin and imported the old database. I have also installed WP in the MAMP directory.
I have followed these tutorials:
- http://timmyomahony.com/blog/MAMP-phpmyadmin-and-big-database-imports-errors-or-timeouts/
- http://www.billerickson.net/migrating-wordpress-websites/
- http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-locally-on-mac-using-mamp/
When i follow the installation instructions for Wordpress it gives me an error message:
Wordpress
Already Installed
you appear to have already installed wordpress. to reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
I want to use the old database not clear it! Please help! Thank you!
