Joomla on localhost

[grezom]

I backed up Joomla via Akeeba backup and ran this backup on localhost.
My problem is that on the localhost I am running Administration of my website, but when I enter the site, it redirects me to Joomla, which is online on the domain. I tried both mamp and xampp localhost, the result is the same.

Where could be the problem?

I don’t see this on my local site.

Do you have any redirects set?
Is your “live site” in configuration.php empty?

Try WAMPServer if the others don't work, although they should.

Strange, it's simply the site link from the Joomla Administrator that does to the live rather than localhost version. never had that happen to me with WAMPServer.

.htaccess has a redirect?

.htaccess has a redirect?

I've tried deleting the .haccess, I've also tried uploading from backup, and I've also tried the default one that comes with Joomla. It still redirects me to the live version.

It even redirects me as follows: localhost -> jazykove-kurzy-nitra.sk -> vages.sk

Joomla was originally on the domain jazykove-kurzy-nitra.sk but some time ago I put it under the domain vages.sk. It shouldn't have anything to do with localhost just for info.

What could be causing these redirects?

Try switching your template to Cassiopeia to check if this issue is related to the template or something else. If the issue persists, try unpublishing each module one by one, followed by the plugins, to see if the issue is related to a specific module or plugin

Used to be a problem with Virtuemart a while ago. Perhaps run the fpa from the livesite and one of the volunteers might spot a 3rd party app that could be causing it?

Is it something to do with a hosts file? You can put an IP address in it along with the domains that use it. I am afraid I have forgotten how this is supposed to work!

I am afraid I have forgotten how this is supposed to work!

Here's a partial/sample listing from my /etc/hosts file:

Code: Select all

# Point localhost.com to this machine.
# 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address for localhost.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mylocaldomain1
127.0.0.1 mylocaldomain2
