Using wordpress on the local host

I know that my post is not specific to DW. I got a lot of help here, so I'll ask the question. My ultimate goal is to work with a form of WP site in DW.

I installed xampp and wp on my localhost. I successfully copied and installed in xampp/htdocs/xampp all the site files and the MySQL database file from an existing WordPress custom theme site online. I can open the website on my localhost and I can connect to the WP Dashboard on my local host. all messages and pages and the plug ins and everything is there. The site looks and works on my localhost, just as it does online. Yes.

But there is a problem, and I just can't understand it. When I view the site on the local host - none of the navigation links work. For example, there are an 'INFO' menu nav element and a corresponding info page. I can see the INFO page and all of its contents in the WP Dashboard and change it in the editor dashboard. But if I click on preview, I get a "the requested URL was not found on this server.    The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. "error. the same thing happens if I click on the link in the nav menu. This is true for all the menu pages/nav links.

I think that this is related to the permalinks and .htaccess file. If go to the section permalinks dashboard th GTE, which automatically results in a .htaccess file will be created at the root of the installation of WP. Once the file /htaccess is created I can't view the site on localhost. If I delete the .htaccess file I get the site back but with the nav link page not found problem

I googled the problem and tried a variety of things, including the links below, but just can't make it work.

Anyone here have experience with this and any suggestions? I am so close to have this job, but just can not pass it. TIA for any help.

  • Using the local host XAMPP with Wordpress and Dreamweaver

    I hope it's in this forum. It is probably more than one WP Theme DW, but I found this forum to be very helpful on a wide range of topics of web design/construction in general so here goes.

    I have a static website html/css, created with DW. I have like a local site on my computer and also have downloaded on a remote host (fatcow) server. It uses a temporary domain/address under development and will replace an exisitng site once completed.

    http://www.prospectrealty1.FatCow.com/index.html

    I installed WP on the remote host and created a Blog through the WP Dashboard. There is a link in the navigation of the static site on the WP Blog. When you click a new tab opens and puts it on the separate blog.

    http://prospectrealty1.FatCow.com/blog/

    I want to be able to work on a copy of the blog 'offline' on my local computer.

    So I have installed xampp and it works correctly on the C drive of my computer. Then I copied my entire local site folder in a folder under the xampp/htdocs. So, next I copied the folder that contains the installation of the remote host to fatcow wordpress (I named it 'blog'), I created and pasted in my local installation. So now I have localhost/xampp/perspective-blog-test/blog.

    Mark, the problem is that you are importing into a database.  Basically, what you have to do is this:

    -Connect to phpMyAdmin

    -Click on databases at the top (in the right frame)

    -Create a new database.  If you want to imitate as much as you can from the remote site, it exactly the same name.

    -Then click on this database from the base of the left hand.

    -Now you can click on import of the right hand of the window frame

    What you were clicking was previously the button import for a whole database and not only the tables in the database.  Because there was no import of data in this file that you and he had only tables, SQL server has generated this error.

  • Help please! BACS4 can't find the local host on a brand new PER710

    Hello

    We just bought three servers Dell PowerEdge R710's in order to accommodate a Hyper-V virtual computer on each.

    We try to use BACS4 for ports network team together, say two for the virtual machine and two for the host operating system. However, BACS4 cannot access the BCM5709C Broadcom. He started with an empty node of the hosts. If you attempt to add a host using 'localhost' is an error immediately:

    "Cannot connect to host: localhost." Please check the network communication. »

    The program also fails to connect when I try to use 127.0.0.1: 1, IP address of the server and the name of the server. All these answers are answered, however.

    The possibility of discovering the hosts can't find something or the other.

    We have not much at all with the server other than to join her for our domain, allowing the DRC, installation of updates Windows, Symantec Endpoint Protection, and the Hyper-V role.

    It seems to me that the software BACS4 has been incorrectly installed or is not compatible with the network adapter installed on the server. I saw a few people on the forums of Broadcom, suffering the same thing but with no real explanation for the cause of this error.

    Anyone here had any experience of it and the best way to fix it?

    Thank you

    Paul Collin

    Sorry, I realized I probably put this on the wrong forum. I also managed to solve the problem by installing the latest version of the Broadcom management programs on the site of Broadcom. (v15.0.15.1 worked for me. v15.0.14.1 was the offending version that came with the server.)

    My apologies for the hassle! Feel free to delete this thread unless it is of some use also.

    Thank you

  • ESXi 5.1 upgrade to ESXi 6.0 with 2 warehouses of data on the local host

    Hi, I'm a little new for vsphere stuff...

    I currently have a 5.1 ESXi host who I want to spend to 6.0. I did with another host with several virtual machines on which had a unique and just ran data store Installer, robbed the store of current data so it updated the system, but kept all my config and VMs in tact.

    However, with this other host, its data store has been expanded at some point, and rather than extend the data store, they have created an additional.

    So my question is now, if I run the Setup, what data store I point to and there are likely to be problems I might encounter?

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from someone soon

    Ben

    Hello

    a multiple data store or data store is no question during the upgrade or install ESXi.

    I guess, you start using ESXi Server ISO.

    Select storage (disk or USB/flash storage) where old ESXi is installed during the Installation (upgrade).

    This allows to detect the existing ESXi installation invites you to upgrade instead of doing the new ESXi installation.

    During the upgrade, select preserve existing and upgrade VMFS ' option to make sure that you keep the old virtual machines and old configuration ESXi.

    Thank you

  • CentOS 5.5 100% CPU use 50% of the CPU of the host - very simple config

    Hello.

    On an upgrade on ESXi 4.0u1 - & gt; ESXi 4.1, I got a CentOS 5.5 32bits with VMware tools and local storage SCSI RAID5.

    Host: IBM x 346 Intel Xeon 3, 4 Mhz single core, hyper-threading, dual-CPU 10 GB of RAM.

    VM: CentOS 5.5 32bits, kernel 2.6.18 - 194.11.1.el5 #1 SMP

    VM resources: 4 vCPU, 4096 MB RAM, affinity and default limits

    I've got high utilization of the processor on this light apache + mysql box. In order to optimize the system, I came to this observation:

    -When my CentOS VM uses 100% cpu, the ESXi host uses only 50%

    My question is: why is it impossible to use more cpu, as this the only VM on the host?

    Clues or tips?

    TIA

    First of all, you have an absolutely incorrect configuration.

    You see 2 CPU * HT * 1 core = 4 logical processors in ESXi. But actually it's only 2 physical cores, and you should not give any VM on the ESXi exceeding 2 vCPU, because it isn't real processors and VM is not aware of it.

    If you have 2 virtual machines with 2 vCPUs each then Yes, HT will give performance gain, but not in this case.

  • Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

    That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

    The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

    Your answers are greatly appreciated.

    Please, tell me if I understand you:

    Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

    If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.
