Hi i think i need to rename my subject

are there links from modx?

Thanks

In the first place, do you have a web server environment set up on your local computer? If not, then you have bigger problems to solve. If yes, then move it the same way you would move any site anywhere; there are a number of explanations and tutorials for doing this.

From your screenshot, it looks like your database and tables are all there, I see from the url that this is on http://localhost, so I assume you have a server setup already on your computer.

So the next questions are:

Have you moved your MODx files over?

Have you updated your config file to reflect your new database name, table prefix, database username, and password?

It would be very helpful if you would tell us what errors you’re getting when you try to load the site on your local server.

And, did you do an upgrade install on the local machine after moving the files and database?

hi yes, xampp is my web server on my local computer.
how can you move it this? I found in the internet but it’s not helpful because the explanations are not clear.
this is what i did:
i installed the modx normally
and then i tried the http://localhost and then i changed the database information here the db name and the db pwd.

then afterwards i went to localhost/phymyadmin and then i created a new db there name the one i have and then
afterwards i changed the db name in the config.inc.php instead of modx i changed it to the name of the db i have
and then when i about to logged in i can’t logged in. it says username & pwd are incorrect.
but i was able to figure this out and solved this,i tried the re-engineering and i was able to logged in.

afterwards, when i clicked anything inside the cms, i’m getting this error:
