I Have got an online version of my Magento store, and now i have got the files (SQL dump, and the root files)

So, i am trying to localhost my site, so i have a new blank version of Magento (not installed) and i add MySql database to phpmyadmin (imports not errors) then i run Magento installation, point it to the database i created, but nothing is import, it just stays as the stock Magento webpage, and the back-end also has no data, but something is happening because the favicon has changed to that of my website.. Do i need to import my app/design theme? as well as my /media folder?

I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong; its a new version of Magento that is being pointed to my database, but no data is showing?

If you have the sql dump already uploaded to the database you will online need to unpack the dump with the files, correct the database settings in app/etc/local.xml and change the base urls in the core_config_data table to your local settings to get it to work.

No need to do a clean install of Magento in that case.
