"I installed WT2.61 on XAMPP with webtrees2 as db name so as not to conlict with the server's 1.1.17 webtrees db. Not sure which is the best way forward".


Must admit to confusing myself but got it working on local computer with just data folder and a copy of webtrees database from server. It does needs a fair bit work to emulate the old themes but so pleased that it's all there.Looking forward to adjusting things by myself but inevitably I might have to impose on your experiences when I get stuck. Thanks in advance.

The one important question I have is that I am keeping the 1.17.17 version on the server to refer as I make changes to the local WT2 but when the time comes to upload it to the server is there a way of renaming the webtrees database (username_webtrees) so that it does not overwrite the one on the server?

Thank you
