Localhost not recognizing my website

    Hey! Here’s what happened:

    I’m using XAMPP as my Localhost for developing my website. XAMPP is been facing some problems initializing MySQL, and this is happening worldwide for a few weeks. There is no easy universal solution to this error, but apparently reinstalling XAMPP works, so I did that.

    Before reinstalling, I created two backup folders of the content in both “htdocs” and “mysql/data”, so that my website would not be lost. But when I transfered those files to the new folders, my website is not being shown. I noticed that when I type “localhost/wordpress”, the “Page Not Found” default page shows up, and when I type “localhost/wordpress/wordpress” the default theme page shows up.

    Since I’m new to developing pages with WordPress and using Localhost/XAMPP, I’m not sure if I did something wrong. Could someone please help me?

  • According to your description, you have only backed up files – but not the database. The database contains all the content of your website, as well as the configuration (e.g. the URL it uses). Don’t you have a backup of the database? Then you will have to start again.

    Addendum: it may also be necessary to restore a backup of the database files in XAMPP in a different form. I can’t tell you how to do this, but XAMPP support may be able to.

    Oh, I understand… Well, I’ll start over. I’ll check the XAMPP database files you mentioned. Thank you so much for answering!
