As described in the title i am dealing with the following problem.
I took a back up of a Magento based site that I am currently working on, placed it in my document root folder and finally extracted it.
I can see the home page of the site, but when i try to gain access as administrator via Magento admin panel i get this message
the requested url was not found on this server.
The above message is also displayed when a link is pressed..
There is a problem with your .htaccess. Probably URL Rewrites are not working. Open your .htaccess you will find a code RewriteBase
if your project is at the Root of the server you should put
RewriteBase /
If it is in the subfolder suppose test then your rewrite base should be
RewriteBase /test/
Look in your app/etc/local.xml what is under the admin section for frontName.
Maybe you have a custom name set here.
