Copying a site to my WAMP server
-
I’m trying to copy a WP site,
https://urturt.com/
to my localhost.
So I used FTP to get all the files from the server, use the export thing in phpmydmin to copy the tables to a new database on my localhost (did the search/replace thing to change all instances of urturt.com to localhost/urturt in the sql file), lastly I edited the wp-config.php file to point to my new database, tried to see the site, and this is what I got
https://sitepoint-discourse.global.ssl.fastly.net/uploads/default/23651/55cf894d1ff351d1.png
so all seemed to work. But when I tried to click on the shop I was getting a not found error. I did some research
https://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2014/03/how-to-enable-modrewrite-for-apache-web.html
and figured the problem was that module and the only way I knew to turn it on was to uncomment#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
in the httpd.conf file.
But now if I click the shop page, it takes me to

(the WAMP server homepage on my server)Can I get help?
