I have a big problem to get my live shop working on a localhost.

I have changed all the files and have the following problem.

Each time I want to enter the local shop I´m redirected to the live shop.

If I disable my internet connection I will not be able to access my local site.

Hope someone can help me with this.

The live store I want to run on localhost is Version 1.5 I use Xampp. Have changed local.xml and core_config_data in SQL.

  • Guess you did not change your base_url in the core_config_data table.

You need to change your URL in core_config_date and then you need to go to /var/cache/ and clear the folder, then just to double check clear your browser data too!

It is standard practice to have the same URL for your local site as well but ofcourse you would need to set up a virtual host and have a host file entry in your local to be able to do that. By doing this you wouldn't need to make any changes to any core config data values.
