To prove it, I turned off my modem, tried to run the WP Admin (Dashboard) and got a "Page not found" for my efforts.
myPhpAdmin runs fine under XAMPP with the modem off.
To populate my wordpress database, I imported a backup of my remote host wordpress database. I suspect it is full of links back to the internet but I thought "localhost" would rerout all those links back to my local wordpress installation.
My hosts file contains a
- Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 localhost
What should I be looking for in resolving my problem??
