1. downloaded a full copy of the working site, say site1 and also its db export site1.sql with prefix of s1_
2. downloaded a legacy J25 from official Joomla website
3. installed a local J25 site, say J25, with db of prefix of J25_
4. in J25 db, import site1.sql, now the J25 db has tables of s1_ and J25_
5. in J25 db, create user same as site1 for using in site1 db
6. in J25, change configuration as following:
dbprefix: changed from J25_ to s1_
user/password: changed to the same as site1 (newly created)
I am not sure if there is any missing, when I go to open localhost/J25, it automatically downloads a file called download, and its content is pasted here:

Thank you very much.
