Getting Installation Problem

I have my site running on server perfectly. But when I am trying to install that running site on my local machine I am getting error.

Warning: require_once(/project/inc/security.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\project\inc\header.inc.php on line 183

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/project/inc/security.inc.php' (include_path='.;D:\xampp\php\PEAR') in D:\xampp\htdocs\project\inc\header.inc.php on line 183

Did you update the path ($dir['root']) in /inc/header.inc.php? It also needs to be an absolute path.

Yes I did.

It started showing the landing page and few other static pages like About Us, FAQ, Help etc... But still getting the same problem for dynamic Pages like Blogs, Forums, Articles etc and even can't access admin area.

Verify /inc/security.inc.php exists, and double-check that path in /inc/header.inc.php - it needs to be the full path and contain a / at the end. If possible, can you post that line into this thread?

And of course, make sure you cleared Dolphin's cache when making changes to that file.

It needs to be the full path to the directory on the server (or in this case, your desktop). Try: D:/xampp/htdocs/project/

It needs to be the full path to the directory on the server (or in this case, your desktop). Try: D:/xampp/htdocs/project/

It's working now. I tried xampp/htdocs/project/ earlier. But still getting some issues getting problem to access the Polls section  data and Forums Section. 

When I click on Forums Tab I get:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

Location: http://localhost/project/forum/

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://localhost/project/forum/layout/uni_en/xsl/recent_topics_main.xsl"?><root>

And yes I can't login in the administration section. Even I changed the password using the following link:

I followed first Post of "deano92964" but still get no success.

It seems some files may have been damaged during the transfer. Did you use a compressed backup (ZIP or TAR.GZ) or download the files en masse via FTP?

Also, I have to ask: do you need to run this on your local computer? It sounds like it would be much easier to setup a test site on your hosting than to fiddle around on your desktop like this.

I downloaded the files via FTP. I understand it's much easier to setup a test site, I want to do some changes on my current site for this i need a site on my local computer to test those changes.

In that case, the files are likely corrupted and need to be re-downloaded. You should compress them into a ZIP or TAR.GZ archive and then download that.

I'll re-download it in ZIP or TAR.GZ, I'll get back to you once I'll done. Tons of thanks to you for your tremendous support...

I downloaded TAR.GZ version and now it's working fine. Thanks Nathan!!!
