hi, I download all files, export database… for run the site locally, so I create a new database with MAMP and import… but when I try to go to the locally site, they go to the online site, how can reset for run locally or something?

I add this line to config.php but nathing happend:

$conf['cookie_domain'] = "";

please help, that is simple but I forget how do it.

please any help with this?

What version and build are you using? Check config.php and path.php to make sure it doesn’t still reference the live site, as it were.

1.6.7 version…

on config.php I change this line:

$conf['cp_url'] = "http://mysite.com/sites/ee/system/index.php";

to this:

$conf['cp_url'] = "http://localhost/sites/ee/system/index.php";

and on path.php, what I need change???? I see this:

$system_path = "./system/";

That should be good. See this article, too.

1.6.7 version…

on config.php I change this line:

$conf['cp_url'] = "http://mysite.com/sites/ee/system/index.php";

to this:

$conf['cp_url'] = "http://localhost/sites/ee/system/index.php";

and on path.php, what I need change???? I see this:

$system_path = "./system/";

not sure if this will help or not, but the url for MAMP hosted sites I’ve worked with has the port after localhost…

http://localhost:8888/sites/ee/system/index.php

the problem is not MAMP, mamp running well the site… I have other version on ee installed from zero… running on mamp, my problem is with this version from a live site, the question is really simple:

1. I have a live site etc… that I want running local, so
I donwnload all files, export database

2. Now I create a database local and import the database

Problem: When I try to run they go to live site! not the locally… so I need reset something but I dont know, please help, thanks

That should be good. See this article, too.

I follow the article yes… but why go to live site! dont load the local and is not a problem with mamp, is just a problem with path or something, but where I can change the path

I add this too to config.php

$conf['cookie_domain'] = "";

and nathing! :(

This article instructs you to change quite a few paths, have you done so? What exactly to you mean by “go to live site”? Where do you get this?

I mean with “go to the live site” the http://www.mysite.com, the article yes talk about paths “Open up the ExpressionEngine Control Panel and update any necessary path” great BUT I cant login on control panel for change paths, beacuse they go to the live site.

is simple:
1. a live site “http://mysite.com” (I want run that site locally so:
2. I donwload the site and export the database
3. I runnin mamp, create and import a database locally
4. run the url http://localhost/mysite etc… for go to the control panel and PROBLEM: go to the live site! not locally,

I dont understand what happend, that is too simple, but for some way they go to the live site.

any solution? please

any solution? please

I’ve never done what you want to do, but I did do it with a Wordpress site once. I opened up any config.php, path.php, etc. and did a search for the live url. Any place it was found I replaced it with the local url. I also opened up the database backup in a text editor and did the same thing. It worked pretty good! But I am not an expert, so make sure you backup any files before making any changes.

thanks mike, I resolve, that problem is a own error, not of ee, thanks for the help
