I'm trying to clone a wordpress website on to the local host to carryout a small development work and I'm having few issues here. Firstly, this is the procedure that I followed.
Installed XAMPP at C:\xampp on the Windows 10
Edited httpd.conf in Apache Config and changed to port 8080 by making the change Listen 8080
XAMPP runs successfully (both Apache and MySQL). When I visit the http://localhost:8080, I get the welcome screen
I go to http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ , I see the phyMyAdmin screen.
I create a new database with the name, database in phpMyAdmin and subsequently import the database file that I would like to clone. Before importing, I replace all the keywords that contain localhost to localhost:8080 in the database file. The database gets imported successfully.
I copy all the wordpress files from the hosting server and place them in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp
Edit the wp-config.php and change the following:
database_name_here to database
username_here to root
password_here to '' (blank)
When I go to http://localhost/wp/ or http://localhost:8080/wp/, I get HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
Can anyone point what is going on here?
No need to do more effort, just follow below steps after you copy all files, change config file & download SQL file from source.
1. > Open SQL file & replace "Live URL" with "http://localhost:8080/wp/" ( include HTTP:// & www)
2. > now import edited SQL on the local machine.
3. > open admin first from http://localhost:8080/wp/wp-admin
4. > go to settings > permalink section & click on save button.
That's it, your site now working on your local machine.
Your 404 error may cause of "Step 4" to reset permalink.

Every time I'm trying to install wordpress from the address: localhost/wordpress
It's showing the "Parent Directory"
Apache/2.4.29 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2l PHP/7.1.11 Server at localhost Port 80.
Can anybody give me a solution?
From your screenshot, it looks like you have no files in your localhost/wordpress directory. You can follow the steps on this Codex page - https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress - to guide you through the install process. You first need to download and unzip the WordPress files from https://wordpress.org/download/ into your local folder. You also need to have PHP installed locally, set up a database and a user, and edit your wp-config.php file before you can access localhost/wordpress to run the install. It's all detailed in that Codex page.
In my system MarkLogic admin and config panel is working, but console panel is not. It worked until yesterday.
Message in browser shown below:
This site can't be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Did you mean http://localhost8000.com/?
Search Google for localhost 8000
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Move your .htaccess from the public folder to the root directory instead.
If you still have the problem then rename the file server.php in your root directory to index.php.
Visit: http://localhost:8000
You are missing : for the port number in the URL.
everytime I install a new plugin for wordpress it says Could not copy file and the files address. Does anybody know why this is the case.
Check file premissions and (important!) file owner or group. If you use apache server group must be www-data (default). This can be a solution
I was facing the same issue but in my case I was updating using FTP.
I fixed it by setting the hostname to "localhost" instead of using the IP.
This is because there was a loop happening and making the file upload fail and that's logged in the /var/log/vsftpd.log
I would like to change the URL for my Wordpress:
From this: www.example.com/wordpress
To this: www.example.com/game
What do I need to do?
I tried renaming the Wordpress folder to game but this did not work. It caused a linkage problem with the bank-end database.
which server you are using.
if you are using apache or nginx you need to modify you vhost files accordingly to point to the right directory.
location of these file depend on you server's OS.
commonly it is in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or /etc/apache2/conf.d/
Not open any file in this www.example.com/wordpress folder, Change permission this folder apply 755 permission, stop apache server or stop xampp. after rename your foder name and start apache server or xammp

You do need to firstly install WAMP or LAMP which are both used as local web servers.
During the installation of WAMP, it asks you to name a folder to place all the web services in. e.g. c:\server
Once you do that you can put the files in the WordPress zip file into a folder c:\server\www
Once you run the WAMP server you can use your browser to navigate to your WordPress site.
Here is an article about how to install WordPress
All you need to do is place all the contents of the Wordpress directory under a directory (with the name of your project, for example) on the root of your webserver. This directory will depend on your system. Eg. under Ubuntu, and using Apache the default is /var/www.
The essential fields of your wp-config.php that you have to fill in are
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD
DB_HOST (this is localhost)
That you have to configure to match your DB configuration.
you must install a program like wamp server and copy wordpress directory in wamp/www then create a database and fill wp-config.php
for fill username in wp-config use 'root' and for password use ' ' (empty).
