I ran into a 404 not found error when trying to access a local Wordpress installation. I am migrating a working Wordpress installation from my hosting account where I set up the WordPress site. After downloading all the files into the WWW folder of my WAMP installation, I imported the SQL file from the server and imported this file to recreate the Wordpress database on my local machine.
Once completed, I tried to access the Wordpress installation by typing (((http:)))//localhost:8080/wordpress1/. I got a 404 not found error and the address at the top of my browser changed to localhost/wordpress1/. I used parenthesis to stop this editor from making the address a link
My Wp-config.php settings are: define('DB_NAME', 'wrd_okm5cj2a6c');
/** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'root');
/** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
/** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
My httpd.conf setting is: Listen 8080
When I download a copy of Wordpress from the Wordpress site, it works fine. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
