Hi @johanjanssens,

Is it possible to use joomlatools server with existing joomla website / database?

Yes, thats not that hard, here are the steps:

1. Create the sites_foo database with phpmyadmin (http://phpmyadmin.localhost)
2. Import the data with phpmyadmin
3. Put the files in the sites folder, create a subfolder for the site
4. edit configuration.php for mysql

public $host = 'localhost';              
public $user = 'admin';                       
public $password = 'admin';                  
public $db = 'sites_foo';
