Getting the Dashboard is the expected behavior because the index.php file in htdocs redirects to that Dashboard.
So what should I do?
I should see
localhost/appfolder.
If in the
hosts file I write
- Code: Select all
127.0.0.1/appfolder websiteaddress
It always opens the dashboard
I explain better my problem.
In the original website there is a lot of links pointing to the inside pages.
If they were dynamic (for example, /page/subpage) there would be no problems.
Instead these links point to the same site (www.website/page/subpage).
Now that I've copied the website in XAMPP I can not do the tests because those links lead me to the real external website.
I have to be able to address those links to the site in XAMPP.
Maybe to use hosts is not the right method.
