I'm trying to copy website made in Magento in my localhost and finished another steps:
downloaded whole website via ftp account,
import database from server,
change parameters for database in local.xml (post root for user and empty
field for password),
clear cache in Magento var folder,
change base_url value in database
When I try to open it in browser, Homepage looks ok, but any link in page give me Error 404 - Object not found. I can't access to admin panel. Anything what I type URL after localhost/nameOfMyProject, I get Error 404.
I have 2 other Magento projects in my localhost and they work correctly, but both of them I installed from fresh Magento installation and then add new themes for them.
Here is different situation. I need to add whole existing project from server in localhost. I can't add this website on same way, because developer who made it changed files into core section. Project is too big it's not possible at the moment to change that, so any way is to download whole project in localhost.
Does anyone has some suggestion what to do?
Best Regards,
Mladja
Check you also downloaded the .htaccess file and mod-rewrite is enabled in your apache conf.
To access to admin panel try: localhost/nameOfMyProject/index.php/admin

I have ran into quite the issue.
I have been developing a website hosted locally with MAMP. I always used localhost:90/wordpress/ to access the website and it was worked up till today. A few hours ago, I began the process of moving the website from local server to an actual domain. Unfortunately, I wasn't checking URLs and ended up changing some information and working on localhost myPHPadmin panel as opposed to the domain myPHPadmin panel. Long story short, I changed so much before I realized my mistake, then proceed to change even more, and now I am lost and don't know what to do. At this point, I am just trying to get access to my local hosted website so I can start over again.
The issue:
Everytime I goto localhost:90/wordpress, Chrome redirects me to localhost/wordpress and my website doesn't show, it says that the website can't be shown.
I have tried going into my local hosted myPHPadmin panel and changing siteurl and home to both say localhost, but no luck. Interestingly, when I change both to wordpress, it shows an unformatted version of my homepage (Kinda like just straight HTML), with limited images, however if I click any links then it brings me to wordpress/about and it doesn't exist. If I change it to just localhost:90, it shows my unformatted wordpress Page not found page. Can't access wp-admin with any of them.
I have tried using a replace tool recommended in another thread, but searching for localhost and replacing with localhost:90 yielded no results for me. I have also double checked the .htaccess folder and it is correct. I have cleared cookies/cache and still nothing. I am desperate.
Any help is much appreciated.
I am not sure what the issue is here so I am going to shoot in the dark here and hopefully one of these methods will get you out of your predicament. Since you say that you have reverted all the changes you made and still your website is inaccessible, even wp-admin.
You can try doing the following:
Change the siteurl and homeurl links in your PHPmyadmin to localhost:90/wordpress or whatever it was before when your site was running and functional.
In your Wordpress root folder, there is a file called wp-config.php. Open that file and find:
* #package WordPress
*/
Add after:
define('WP_HOME','localhost:90/wordpress');
define('WP_SITEURL','localhost:90/wordpress');
You will replace all localhost:90/wordpress if need be by which I have written in my codes to what the link was before; when the site was functional.
Check the file thoroughly and through Find/Replace function of your favourite text editor for no duplicate entries.
Now try accessing wp-admin. If you still cannot access your wp-admin, take a backup of your current wp-admin folder.
From a fresh Wordpress of the same version as yours, copy the wp-admin folder and replace it with your current wp-admin folder. Now try to access wp-admin again.
If you are able to access it and login, refresh your Permalinks. See if your site is accessbile again after doing these steps.
Update:
Since none of those steps worked for you, try doing the following:
Delete all the Wordpress core files from your localhost:90/wordpress EXCEPT wp-config.php and your wp-content folder.
Now from a fresh Wordpress folder, copy the files and folders EXCEPT wp-config.php file and wp-content folder. Paste them in your localhost:90/wordpress folder.
Try accessing your website now.
Update 2:
Try uploading your Wordpress to your online server and change the values of siteurl and homeurl in your wp-config.php file. We defined the localhost addresses in the file, now you will update those with your domain details.
Take a fresh backup of your database from your localhost and import it into a new database in your online server. Update the homeurl and siteurl in your newly imported database.
Update your wp-config.php with the new database name and username and password of the account you have given all privilages to access the database.
Try accessing wp-admin now.
If successful, update your Permalinks and then try accessing your website.
This will tell us if your localhost is faulty.
A friend of mine asked me for a favour, to move his website. The programmer who made it, send me an archive with the database, and the rest of the files needed. I've installed it on my localhost, with apache, php and mysql installed on it.
I have a problem with it. If I go to localhost/mgro/index2.php, it shows somehow a minimal version of the website, but if I click on something, it gets to index.php?something_else_here and it works. If I go to localhost/mgro I just see the files, and if I go to localhost/mgro/index.php it redirects me to localhost/mgro.
About the configuration file, I've used the configuration.php-dist file, with new info in it. What I've changed was just the database, user and password for the database.
Basically, everything works fine, except that index.php with no requests, because it "backs" me into the folder
NEW PROBLEM: If I click on an Add to cart button, it redirects me to the website that is online.
Is this Joomla 1.5 or Joomla 2.5.x / 3.0? I'm going to guess that you have a potential issue with the live_site variable in the configuration.php file, especially if you're using Joomla 1.5. Make sure that it is configured to your localhost's live site URL directory.
Some other things to check:
1) If you're using SEF urls you need to use a .htaccess file. Usually the one Joomla' includes by default works (if you don't have it you can redownload it from Joomla's code repos: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=index
2) When logged in go to global configuration and check the option "URL rewriting". You can try switching it off. (On does require the .htaccess file mentioned before).
3) If you're just seeing files when you hit the directory then Apache isn't configured to load .php files. Since you're running a localhost you'll have to track that down somehow.
Some other notes:
-Index2.php isn't anything, don't use it.
I have cloned a whole online website built with prestashop by FTP and hosted it on a XAMPP.
I have downloaded the SQL dump and imported it locally with phpMyAdmin.
I have changed the conf files to use the local database.
When I go to localhost/myProject it redirects me to the website url. Why is that ? is there another configuration setting to edit? I have already looked in the conf table in database and domain URL was already set to "localhost", even on the online version.
Update : I found a reference to the website in table "ps_shop_url". I changed its values to localhost, now when I go to localhost it tells me "this page has an infinite redirection loop"
In ps_shop_url table you must set domain=localhost, domain_ssl=localhost & physical_uri=/myProject/
In ps_configuration set PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL & PS_SHOP_DOMAIN to localhost
Also go at BackOffice -> Preferences -> SEO & URLs and click [Save] - this will regenerate your .htaccess file and will add the /myProject/ where needed.
That should be all.
A small addition to the answer provided by prestashop-developer-com
For Prestashop 1.6, you just need to change the table ps_shop_url following the recommendation from prestashop-developer-com
I've just upload a WordPress project into a web server. Everything went fine with the exception of the User-Photo plugin. The problem I'm having is that its doesn't seems to find the basedir path. This is the error:
Upload error: Unable to place the user photo at: /var/www/clients/client2/web4/web/arsoblog/wp-content/uploads/userphoto/1.jpg
First of all, I don't know where this path is. Even on the local server, where the site is working good, is using the exact same path, which I can't find.
Maybe someone of you knows what could have changed from one server to the other. By the way, the blog is inside another site in the web server, which is developed using CakePHP.
EDIT --- I'm having the same problem with all the uploads!
The problem is in your upload directory. When we develop the WordPress site in localhost, the default upload directory will be point to your localhost only. When you move to online server, this directory path will not change.
To override this do the following steps:
Login to your cPanel/control Panel
Go to phpMyadmin
Select your database.
Go to wp_options table
On the second page (around 58th row) Edit 'upload_path'(For the first time this row may be blank).
Give your correct directory.Eg: /home/username/public_html/folder-name/wp-content/uploads
Change "username" and "folder-name". Username is usually the username you use to login to cPanel, or your domain’s control panel. Folder-name is used for the sites hosted in subfolders. If you hosted the site in root folder, remove it.
Here is a detailed tutorial How to move wordpress to a new server or host.
If you already used WordPress uploader in localhost, you need to do a search in wp_posts table and replace your localhost reference to your live site's reference. There are some plugin available to do these search and replace in database. Check this one
Hope this will solve your problem.
777 permissions are dangerous and not the correct fix for the issue. You will get hacked with 777 permissions. See Hardening WordPress « WordPress Codex
For solving this problem you have follow some step,
*Login to your cPanel/control Panel
*Go to phpMyadmin
*Select your database.
*Go to wp_options table
*On the second page (around 58th row) Edit 'upload_path'
*Give your correct directory.Eg: /home/username/public_html/folder-name/wp-content/uploads
then you shift your server See tutorial

I am developing a wordpress site. I uploaded the files(wordpress) to my live host. So my new live url site for my wordpress like this sample url http://mywordpress.com/, the display seems to be fine, but when I start browsing the menus page will be redirected to my local server, instead of http://mywordpress.com/about-us/ it went to my localhost like http://localhost/mywordpress/about-us
So when I checked the page source all the links including the stylesheet is link to my local. even though I use this code
<link href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
Its kinda weird... but anyone knows how to configure this?
It sounds to me like your database may be using old values for your url's.
For a quick solution that may or may not solve your issue, try http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/wordpress-plugin-update-urls/ . It's a great plugin. If not... here are my bullet proof instructions for transferring from local to online.
I've migrated from local to online hundreds of times and I think most tutorials on wordpress migration are overly complex. Here's my method (assuming you already have a fresh wordpress installation and database)
Go to phpMyAdmin for your local server and export your database (but not as a file)... just get the straight SQL text and copy it.
Paste that code into dreamweaver, text editor, coda or any plaintext word processor that can do a search and replace. Then search for "http://MyOldWordpressUrl.com/wordpress" (make sure there is NO slash after the final directory) and replace with "http://MyNewWordpressUrl.com/wordpress". Obviously don't include the quotation marks. Make sure your old wordpress URL is correct. You can double check in admin -> general settings.
Get into your control panel for your online hosting and go to the database for your new wordpress install (this should be a brand new installation where you haven't yet created any posts or input any data-- just what wordpress gives you). Export the database and save it as a file (just in case). Now drop all the tables. Click YES when it asks you if you're sure. Then click on the SQL icon (should be in the upper left hand corner of the left sidebar). This should open a new window. Now paste in your code from step 2 and click GO.
Transfer your theme folder via FTP.
Right now you should go to the new wordpress install's wp-admin. Your same User Name and password will apply. Go to "add a post" and add any image from your computer... wait for it to upload, now delete it. This step is to have the server create the uploads folder to be 100% certain is registered by wordpress and set to the correct permissions. I've wasted hours before by transferring the uploads folder directly by FTP, so don't do it.
Step 5 created an uploads folder in FTP, now you can drag and drop the contents of your uploads folder (ie 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 + subfolders) into the uploads folder. There should be nothing in it except an empty folder (because you deleted that file in step 5), so it's fine to overwrite if it warns you.
The only remaining step is to transfer your plugins. You can do it via FTP, although it's probably faster to add them directly through the Wordpress admin via "add plugin" and search + install.
Oh yeah, now go to permalink settings and click "default", update, then choose whatever you want-- you need to refresh permalinks to.
That's foolproof... but you have to be somewhat familiar/confident using PHP myadmin. Although I've founds some widgets do not transfer via this method, so you may have to drag and drop some widgets again (appearance -> widgets) after the transfer.
For clarification on step 1 and step 3, see the diagrams here: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/exporting-and-importing-wordpress ... but the rest of that WDW tutorial is guaranteed to give you problems at somepoint.
As mentioned in the comments, you will need to browse to the Settings->General page and update your site URL and wordpress URL.
If you can't get to the Settings page because you get redirected to your local site (this has happened to me before), you may have to edit the values in mysql directly, which isn't too bad, really.
The settings are located in the wp_options table under the option_name "siteurl" and "home". If you need more help with that, post a comment.
You may need to refresh your permalinks: see step 5 below. Official documentation on this subject may clear some things up as well.
Steps to move a local WordPress install to a live site
This is my method, and it has worked every time. Assume local WP install is at http://localhost/wordpress/ with WP database named wordpress and live WP install is at http://livesite.com/ with WP database named livesite:
Create a backup of local WP database -
navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
select database wordpress from side menu
click EXPORT
check the box for Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT statement
click GO - it should download a file called wordpress.sql
Download a database for the live site -
sign in + navigate to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php
enter the live site values for WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)
click SAVE CHANGES - this will break your local WP installation: that's why we made the backup
repeat step 1 [Create a backup of local WP database] - include all substeps
rename this newly downloaded file from wordpress.sql to livesite.sql
Prepare WP files for live site
upload WP file structure to http://livesite.com/
edit /wp-config.php to have live database name, username and password
Import live WP database - if you haven't created the livesite database yet, do so now
navigate to http://livesite.com/phpmyadmin or equivalent
select database livesite from side menu
click IMPORT
choose local file livesite.sql from step 2
click GO - it should successfully import the livesite database
Refresh live site permalinks - your permalinks are set correctly but not updated to reflect the new domain, so get WP to update them
navigate to http://livesite/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
click SAVE CHANGES
it should alert permalink structure updated. If not make a frivolous change to get it to do so, e.g. change permalink structure and then revert
Revert local installation - this can really be done at any point after step 2.
Follow step 4 from http://localhost/phpmyadmin using the backup created in step 1. This is the only way to fix the local install because we changed the domain in step 2 and we can't even get back to the settings page.
NOTES
using WP 3.3.1
using phpMyAdmin 3.4.8
The reason behind this, After you move wordpress site from local server to live you not changed the site url and home address.So, when ever you try to open your site in real server it will redirect back to your local server.You need to open PhpMyAdmin Tool in Cpanel or FTP and select your database then open wp_options table.
In wp_options table change the value of site url and home.
Now your problem will solved.
