OK, I need to upgrade to Drupal 6.0 but need to set up my localhost testsite first of all to be a copy of the live site.
I have managed to set up everything correctly and install the db etc. The homepage comes up perfectly, however, if i click on any of the links they bring up "404 The requested URL /xxx was not found on this server.' This is when the base url is set as : $base_url = 'http://localhost';
If I change the base url to be $base_url = 'http://localhost/drupal'; then all of the links go back to the wamp localhost page.
Can someone please help me as this is driving me mad. I know it is something small but dont know what i need to do to fix it.
The steps i took to set the site up were as follows:
Step 1 – Set up site locally
Currently using drupal 5.1
Downloaded 5.15 to desktop
Installed wamp server
Copied the drupal folder to c:/wamp/www/ and renamed it to ‘drupal’
Went to phpmyadmin and created a database called ‘drupal’
Went to privileges and created a new user:
• User name: xxxx
• Host: Local
• Password: xxxx
• No global privileges
Went to http://localhost/drupal and managed to access the drupal site on localhost : http://localhost/drupal/
Step 2 – Import Database
Went to phpmyadmin and imported the latest cut of the database
Step 3 – Copy files
