**### Issue Summary**

I try to import a Duplicator file into public folder in local but fail at stage where it require me to insert database name, user & password.

#### Replication

1. Normal installation will have this database input.  
Database name: local  
Username: root  
Password: root

2. But for Duplicator installation, it appear to have different details for its database.  
Database name: admin\_wp\*\*\*  
Username: admin\_wp\*\*\*  
Password: 1enk\*\*\*

Seems like it’s following the details where I used on my old hosting.

3. I follow the details which appear in the system. But it failed.  
4. But I still try to use the normal detail (Database name: local, Username: root, Password: root) but still failed.

#### System Details

- Which version of Local is being used?  
v5.9.0+4961

- What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?

- Attach the Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:

Hey @akhijoe Welcome to the Local Community Forums!

A couple of things to try:

1. I think that Local can import duplicator packages. Can you try dragging and dropping the archive you downloaded onto Local?
2. If that doesn’t work, then you might be able to navigate to the site and update the `wp-config.php` file to use the default DB settings. It should look something like:

Note that these are the default settings. You’ll want to update:

```auto
Database name: admin_wp***
Username: admin_wp***
Password: 1enk***

```

To use:

```auto
Database name: local
Username: root
Password: root

```
