Clone wordpress not opening with wampserver. | Wordpress Support | Forum Archive

Hi all,

I’ve been continuing to attempt to get an offline
development setup for wordpress using wampserver.  I’ve manually downloaded TAR.php, XCloner.php
and the backup.tar file to  C:\wamp\www\clone
 after googling a little removed the .htaccess
which was stopping the launch of the XCloner.php script. 

backup.tar extracted to C:/wamp/www/clone

The XCloner.php  install was good with the following options, Install
directoryC:/wamp/www/clone

1. Install Url: localhost/clone
2. Mysql server: localhost
3. Mysql username: root
4. Mysql password:
5. Mysql database: clone_1
6. Also …Skip
   files restore = True

However, I must be missing something since I was expecting
to launch http://localhost/clone and go to
the cloned site locally hosted by the wampserver clone install redirects to
the backed-up actual live website (e.g. http://www.myhost.com).

I was expecting the options 1 and 2 above to have reset
things in the background what am I missing?

Thanks for help and pointers

Justin
