WampServer

I have 3 sites set up in my www folder. Each site has it's own folder within www. 2 sites which are joomla sites and one is a site which I had a developer build for me... I'm able to pull the joomla sites using localhost, but when I copy the contents of my public_html (from the site built by developers) folder into the folder inside of www, I'm not able to pull up my sight using localhost. It pulls up a page that says "Sorry, we can't find "www.localhost" . FYI- when I'm not typing in "www" before the "localhost". I'm trying to access the site by going to the wampserver homepage. I tried to turn on the rewrite module in apache to see if that would change anything, but I'm still having the same issues. I set up the sql databases to match the database from my live site. I used the same user name and passwords as from the live site. I tried to see if there were any errors in the apache log, but I didn't see anything.. I"m still new to this any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked through the forums to see if anyone else had this problem, and I didn't see anything. It's possible I didn't see anything because I had the wrong terminology. Below is a screenshot of the last the last few thing in my apache error log.

check a config file in this folder.. it must have www.localhost in it...


otherwise check

c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc

open hosts


make sure it has

127.0.0.1 localhost

and make sure it does not have

::1 loclahost

I'm not seeing "www.localhost" in my config file. I've opened up my editor, but I'm not sure what and where to put the "www.localhost" in the config file. This is what my config.php looks like.

Can anyone tell me where to put the "www.localhost" in my config file?

Can someone please see the config file above that I pasted in this email. I'm just learning php, so I'm not sure really if this is the file that Stevemartin99 was referring to when he told me to ad localhost to the config.php file. Yes this is my config.php file, but my question is, shouldn't the config.php file show database information? I'm not seeing that information. Also, can someone tell me the correct tags that I would need to put localhost in to my config.php file?

The original problem that I have and still have, is when I try to access my live site which I've copied to wamp, it brings me to a webpage that says "Sorry, we can't find "www.localhost". I copied my dabtabase, user, pass from the live site to the localhost, but I still have the same issue. I've tried to use apache rewrite to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't. I know I can't be the only one experiencing this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to get this working for weeks.

Thanks!

In folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

Actually, I dont really think that it has anthing to do w/ config.php file but most likely rewrite rules in htaccess file or firewall/antivirus which both would reroute or auto add www to url, so check these 2 htaccess file and firewall/antivirus including Zonealarm if using

I'm not showing anything as far as my firewall/antivirus.. I'm able to use wamp on other websites, but just having issues with this one. Below I'm pasting my .htaccess file. I'm not sure what I should be looking at..

As mentioned, it's really your rewrite caused the error

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.

Based on Apache's website about rewrite rules

Quote

Canonical Hostnames

Description:
The goal of this rule is to force the use of a particular hostname, in preference to other hostnames which may be used to reach the same site. For example, if you wish to force the use of www.example.com instead of example.com, you might use a variant of the following recipe.
Solution:

# For sites running on a port other than 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) [www.example.com]:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [L,R]

# And for a site running on port 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) [www.example.com] [L,R]

So you force every url to have www

So I tried to replace "RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\." with one of the rewrite conditions below, and I didn't see any change.. Is that what your were asking me to do? Forgive me if it's a dumb question, but I'm truly trying to figure this out.


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) [www.example.com] [L,R]
