Local copy of live site
-
Hello everyone
I am trying to make a local copy of a live WordPress site. I already have a number of local sites, which I access with MAMP. It works perfectly.
But now, I would like to move a live site to my local server and it will not work.
I followed this excellent tutorial: https://managewp.com/how-to-create-a-local-copy-of-a-live-wordpress-site
I copied all files through Filezilla Client and put it here: /Users/signeebbesen/Documents/Websites/site-name/www
MAMP is set up to look in the websites folder: /Users/signeebbesen/Documents/Websites
I exported the live database through PhpMyAdmin, I created a local database, selected it and imported the newly exported database into the local one.
I changed the ‘siteurl’ and the ‘home’ to reflect the new location of the site. I’m a little bit unsure of whether the ‘home’ was the right one, since it said /old in its url… but I couldn’t find any other ‘home’
Now, when I access my other local sites, the url says: https://localhost:8888/site-name/www/ and it works fine!
When I try to access this new site the url goes: https://localhost/site-name/www/
-> the :8888 is not there and the browser comes up with an error.Would any of you know what I could have done wrong?
Thanks in advance!
