Magento 2.3 localhost Blank page Frontend and admin

Question

I'm trying to transfer my test site from web space to local (I'm running low on maximun allowed size) I've downloaded my database and a copy of the site. Through Xampp I've imported the database, I've then inserted a copy of the site under the folder /htdocs and proceeded to connect the new database.

This is what i see online

And this is the same site on localhost

It's the first time i try to use a site locally, so I don't know what to do. Any idea?

Answer 1

This is known issue in Magento 2 with localhost and solution is below.

File path : vendor/magento/framework/View/Element/Template/File/Validator.php

Replace full method (function) : isPathInDirectories() and isValid()

public function isValid($filename)
{
    $filename = str_replace('\\', '/', $filename);
    if (!isset($this->_templatesValidationResults[$filename])) {
        $this->_templatesValidationResults[$filename] =
            ($this->isPathInDirectories($filename, $this->_compiledDir)
                || $this->isPathInDirectories($filename, $this->moduleDirs)
                || $this->isPathInDirectories($filename, $this->_themesDir)
                || $this->_isAllowSymlinks)
            && $this->getRootDirectory()->isFile($this->getRootDirectory()->getRelativePath($filename));
    }
    return $this->_templatesValidationResults[$filename];
}


protected function isPathInDirectories($path, $directories)
{
    if (!is_array($directories)) {
        $directories = (array)$directories;
    }
    $realPath = $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path);
    $realPath = str_replace('\\', '/', $realPath);
    foreach ($directories as $directory) {
        if (0 === strpos($realPath, $directory)) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
