need help on restore to localhost problem | Old Forum | Forum Archive

Hi,

I have bought your great JoomlaCloner software last night in order to make an urgent backup of one of mine sites and to restore it to a localhost development computer.

The backup process was ok and get me with a backup.ZIP file i restored to a localhost pc. No problem. Now i have a clone of my site running on a localhost but the site is not browsable. i had a .htaccess file at root directory i needed to remove in order to have this work.

On my clone I can connect to the backend, edit and view articles, it works fine. But when i browse the frontend i can only have the frontpage, articles seems to be there as i can see titles, but when i clic on one article i get the following error message: Object not found - Error 404.

On my localhost i run xampplite under WindowsXP with the following software Apache/2.2.3 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8d mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.1.6

on clone backend all relevant PHP settings are ok:
Joomla! Register Globals Emulation: OFF
Register Globals: OFF
Magic Quotes: ON
Safe Mode: OFF
File Uploads: ON
Session auto start: OFF
Session save path: \xampplite\tmp
Short Open Tags: ON
Output Buffering: OFF
Open basedir: none
Display Errors: ON
XML enabled: Yes
Zlib enabled: Yes
Disabled Functions: none

My team is in a process with urgent work i hope you can help so we can have our development server running as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for your great work.

Best Regards.
