Hi,
I used backupbuddy to restore a clients OLD WP site to my localhost - So I could upgrade the theme and change the shop etc.
However...
I installed WAMPserver (Latest) it's running and I did create a user to access mysql (took me some time to figure that out.)
The smart restore script rewrites all URLs in files and DB
When restore was finish... i browsed to [
localhost] <<< Folder for my client >>> but it redirects me to the online version www.clientssite.com???
I searched the new db (localhost) for all entries of www.clientsite.com - It's set correct to localhost/hd-new ?? But I still gets redirected to online www version ???
I deleted the .htaccess to make sure ...
I deleted the themes folder
I deleted the plugins folder
And I still gets redirected to the www GRUMPHF!!!!
Help please
I did restart the WAMP 117 times and restarted the browser?
I did activate rewrite mod
I did add some rights to the httpd.conf:
"Require all granted"
to <Files ".ht*">
and
<Directory />
ServerName localhost:80
**********************************

Version of Operating system: Win7 64bit
Version of Wamp Server installed: 64bit?
Version of Apache you are running: 2.4.9
Version of MySQL you are running: 5.6.17
Version of PHP you are running: 5.5.12
My colour of my WampManager icon is "Green"
My HOSTS file contains:

I hope someone has the magic solution or answer.
Best regards
