I made one simple project, at training center and I want to continue that in my home.
I tried by transferring files from WAMP www director to pendrive and storing in my home pc Wamp WWW directory but Getting 404 ARTICLE NOT FOUND ERROR.
I already attached database related with my Joomla project but could not get into Front end.
Two basic options:
I. Have a look at a took like akeebabackup.com.
II. Do it manually
You need to sync the files.
You need to dump the database and import it to the other installation.
You need to update the configuration.php file to match the settings for database and log / temp folder.

I have built a showcase Magento installation that I am about to deploy public. I'd like to give people backend access but indeed I don't want their changes to stick - not sure how to go about this. What's the best way?
I have seen a Magento showcase somewhere that gave the backend access stating the website will be renewed every 12 hours. So I suppose there is a cron job starting a script that will copy contents of one directory into the other (the public one) every 12 hours?
There are two good solutions:
1. Virtual Machine
Run the entire site in a virtual machine or VPS. Make a snapshot of the machine when it is in the state you want to reset it to. Have a cronjob that triggers the "return to snapshot" routine. The exact details vary between hosts but look for a host with an API.
2. File Copy and DB Reset
Keep a copy of all the files in another folder, together with a dump of the database. You can use mysqldump to create a database dump. You can then go back to that state by having a cronjob that removes the current folder, copies back the old folder and imports the database dump.
There are a few ways to import the database dump file, including the SOURCE command:
SOURCE dumpfile.sql;
I worked on a website and it was hosted on bigrock server. But the client want me to transfer into just host. I managed to copy all the stuffs, but the theme I installed into old server is not getting copied into new justhost server. Please help me out in this one.
more details maybe, maybe an error message or something?
But: I found it quite common for file permissions to be an issue when using straight copy/paste/move.
When moving anything like a cms or cart with potential file permission issues, I would through cpanel/UI compress the lot and then move or copy the .zip/.tar ; On new server unzip through cpanel/UI and previous permission are intact too.
i want a live site to be on local host and without effecting any functionality of live magento site. i have tried many way of doing that but have not get any result from it.
steps i tried are :
1. taken database from magento live site by entering into cpanel(by ftp access) > phpmyadmin > exported all the files to my local machine and i imported all the data to my local phpmyadmin.
2.taken all neccessary files from cpanel > file manager > all files (for example p_html, .htpassword, .trash, access log, etc file and many more) and put it on my local machine and then i put the file in folder and kept it into C:\xampp\htdocs\ all file ( in folder ).
3 Replaced the path of live site with localhost:1234 in the all sql files where applicable taken in step one.
but still not working .
Any help will be appreciated....
Copy your LIVE Magento store to your Local computer:
Download the magento files using any ftp client.
Export the database from live server.
Put the downloaded Magento files in your localhost root folder.
Create a blank database(lets say it 'local-database') in your local computer and import the database backup that you exported from the live one.
Delete/Rename the file app/etc/local.xml
Re-install the Magento using the local-database.
After installation, go to Admin section and then
(i)Flush all cache. (ii)Re-Index all data. (iii)Flush all cache.
That's it. You are done.
N.B. If you have domain specific Modules installed, those modules will not work here.
Seems very simple right. Believe me, it is that simple.
If you face any problem in installing your Magento in localcomputer, here is a post that may come in handy: http://www.insync.co.in/how-to-install-magento-on-wamp-server-localhost-localcomputer/
Steps:
Download the files to the local project folder.
Create a new local DB and import the live database backup/dump.
Update app/etc/local.xml file with local DB parameters(Host name, DB
name, DB username, DB password)
Magento have the project URL saved in 2 places(secure URL and
unsecure URL) in the table core_config_data. We need to update
that in imported local DB to the local URL(9th and 10th record in
the table).
Delete the cache: Delete the contents in var folder(That folder
contains reports and logs too. I assume that you won't need it as
this is a separate installation)
The local copy will most probably work by now but there are possibilities that it would not. Things to do in this case:
If you are getting redirected to the live site, check the .htaccess
file for redirects(For various reasons there may be a redirect
defined in the file)
If you are getting forbidden error, this will come in handy(Usually occurs in linux systems)
There may still be some problems probably theme or module specific. In this case you will need to debug the project and find out what the problem is. Xdebug will come in handy in this situation for boosting the debug process :)
Subrata's solution will conflict with some of the Magento Modules installed and will not allow you to re-install Magento in local. I follow these steps and everything works fine.
Just give a permission (0777) after take a backup to that folder in your local PC
First of all you will have to change the secure and unsecure base_url in your database.
These can be found in the 'core_config_data' table.
Paths:
web/unsecure/base_url
web/secure/base_url
If you want to access your local version of Magento via localhost, you'll have to set localhost as your base_url.
After that you need to clear your cache folder.
EDIT:
To install and run Magento on your local PC using XAMPP, please follow these steps:

I have a Magento site running on a live e-commerce server.
I downloaded the whole site for offline use in a development environment. I changed the Base URL values in the database and edited the local.xml file but my local development site is still referring to the online store.
How do I correct this?
The usual problem, changing your base urls and local.xml is only a minor part of the equation.
Step 3 was missed on moving the website to the development server.
Moving stuff is actually pretty darn simple.
a. Tar the public_html directory on the old server
b. Reinstall on the development system.
a. Disable caching in Magento on the old server, dump the database and then reenable the Magento cache.
b. Create a mysql database, user and grant permissions on the development system. Load the database dump into the database on the development system.
Do the one thing that most people ignore, go set your file permissions and ownership.
Change your base URLs using either mysql command line or phpMyAdmin.
Go eliminate every subfolder in the var/ folder, Magento will recreate it.
Finally, go make changes to your local.xml file to change the database access credentials assigned to the new database and bring Magento up.
If you have complete ownership of the server, do the above steps with the Apache server down until you've loaded all the data and made the permissions and file corrections. This prevents accidentally starting Magento in an unprepared state which can cache Magento's configuration which is why you are having this problem.
If you do not have proper permissions on the var/ folder and subfolders, Magento will write your Magento temporary and cache to the system temp and you end up with Mage's magically redirected Magento which eternally points to the original website.
Also, if you copy local.xml to another file to save it, name it something like local.xml.sv0 otherwise if it ends in .xml, Magento autoload each .xml file in app/etc/ and try to merge it with the contents of your local.xml file.
NOTE: What happens when you don't properly set file/folder permissions before running Magento for the first time after a move.
For some reasons I have a 663.php file in every folder and subfolders of my httpdoc root in my web server ftp. I don't know where this file came from and my host does not know either
I would very much appreciate any help
Depending on it's content it could seem like a PHP Shell Backdoor.
An attacker would upload this file to gain access to your files, database ect.
They usually exploit a flaw in your application, to upload files.
Be sure to update all the software you are running.
Someone might have gained access to your site, also change all passwords.
It looks like this has occurred before to other users:
Your site has been hacked. The 663.php file is sending out anonymous
spam. If you host with GoDaddy, this is a common theme as thousands
of accounts share one IP and one person with shell access can get in
and place an htaccess file above the root folder on the server and
autoload the files into every folder in your website and onto every
site within that IP address. Year1Media

Thank you all for your help. After a little search i found out that It was a Plesk security vulnerability. The problem was solved by running a patch in parallels plesk. Apart from inserting unknown files it also changed .htaccess to redirect to weird websites.
It Is a Plesk Problem
they are correction patches here:
