Magento 2 - ONLY the admin page doesn't work

Question

I have installed Magento 2 locally. I imported the database, changed the URL, and so on. Everything works fine - each subpage loads. Unfortunately, the admin doesn't work. The page just shows 404. This is just a 404 as if the page just wasn't there (eg localhost/blabla and localhost/admin show the same).

I changed the admin's address to "admin", I cleaned the cache - still the same. Everything works except the admin page.

Logs show no errors. I have a .htaccess file. Does anyone have an idea what else could be wrong?

PS. I found a solution. Old values (old address) remained in the database in some places in core_config_data. Of course, these values were only as secure_base_url / base_url (probably via the multistore).

Answer 1

1. Flush and Clear Magento Cache by Command line

php bin/magento cache:clean

rm -rf var/cache/*

rm -rf var/generation/*

2. Enable Rewrite mod and configure htaccess file
Modify from:

<Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Require all granted
 </Directory>

to:

<Directory /var/www/>
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride All
     Require all granted
 </Directory>

3. Replace the URL
This:

http://localhost/index.php/adminUrl

With:

http://127.0.0.1/index.php/adminUrl

4. Restart apache server

I hope it helps
