Porting a multi-site setup to local (MAMP) server There seems to be plenty of tutorials about setting up a local multi-site installation, however, I cannot seem to find any information about porting a live multi-site to a local environment.

Specifically I want to work on just one of the sites from the live setup. I am using Drupal 6. Here are the steps I have taken:


I have setup a database on my local MAMP server with the same name as one of the live sites that I want to work on.
I have imported the mysql dump of just the database I want (removing the others multisite sites from the dump).
All site files transfered to a folder in my MAMP>htdocs>new-folder-name
In new-folder-name>sites>desired-site-folder>settings.php I've set the db_url variable to mysql://root:root@localhost/dbname


What further steps do I need to take? When I navigate to the local site I get the  'It works!' message. I presume I maybe need to set up a htaccess file to redirect, but if so, how should it be formed?
Unless you've got MAMP pro, or have set it up as such (which you haven't mentioned) vhosts probably won't be enabled; Apache will be looking at MAMP > htdocs for the web root, not any folder underneath it. 

Try moving the Drupal web root up one folder (i.e. directly under MAMP > htdocs) and try again
