WampServer

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

I am afraid this is a WordPress issue, you need to check the wordpress siet for help in moving sites from one place to another.

Hi RiggsFolly,

Thanks - I will try WP or BackupBuddy for this.
