Are we going to have a Joomla 2.5 Topic?

[speckytecky]

As Joomla 2.5 is now firmly established I posted this particular question here but was thinking also that as Joomla 2.5 is well established perhaps it ought to have a place of it's own here?

My actual question relates to my Joomla 1.5 site though. In the past I set up a local host test site on XAMP thinking I'd be able to transfer the completed article to SWGfL Hosting. However, when it came to it I couldn't because the database on local host couldn't be transferred.

I'm now having a go with WAMP local host and giving the database a suitable name, password, etc.. Tried to run the install but it doesn't seem to go unless I leave it as local host.

Is there a total bumpy guide to doing this somewhere that someone can point me toward please?

Can you go into more details in what your actually doing and the erros please?

Thanks FN - I'll get back to you on that one when I have the machine with me. At the moment I'm suffering Broadband loss at home after Orange support spectacularly failed last night. 4 of their staff ran with the case and promised a line test which never came because their 'machine' was down - after running through £16 worth of credit on my mobile!
