Hello. I’m new to local. I have a backup of a site that used to be live on EasyWP but I won’t be using it for a while, so I’m trying to move it to local to make changes. I’m manually importing the site following this guide Import/Export a WordPress Site - Local bc I get a zip error. I’m facing the error mentioned in the topic:
I already replaced the wp-content folder with the one downloaded from EasyWP. Idk how to check if the DB change was actually applied, since there’s a SQL folder with a local.sql file. I put my DB inside the app>public folder
System Details
Local Version: Version 9.1.0+6719
Operating System (OS) and OS version: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
A firewall or antivirus software could block MySQL from running correctly. Can you double check that MySQL is allowed through your Windows Firewall?
On Windows, another thing is to make sure that WordPress has the correct file permissions to access the database. Can you make sure that your user account or the user running the web server has sufficient permissions for the WordPress files and MySQL data files?
I’m not sure what this means. Does it mean that port 10061 is not open? Maybe I’m missing some permissions, but I don’t know how to check more details.
You could try opening your task manager to see if there are multiple mysql processes running, or you could just kill everything in there, then Start your site and see if works then.
For more on investigating Port Conflicts, you can check out our help article below. Something else that could be conflicting would be if you’re running other dev applications simultaneously. Like XAMP, Docker, etc.
