I recently created a copy of a live opencart website to my localhost for testing purposes. The way that I did this goes as follows
Tech:
-ubuntu 16.04
-apache 2.4
-lamp stack
1. Copied all files from live site to local drive
2. Exported a backup of live site through phpmyadmin
3. Copied all files to apache root directory
4. Changed configs for public_html/config.php and admin/config.php to reflect localhost and modified https to http
5. Changed config Database to a test name
6. Created new database with test name, imported database through phpmyadmin tools.
7. Disabled all htaccess files by renaming them .htaccess.txt
8. Now I currently have access to the localhost site. However, all the SEO urls are returning 404 errors.
9. Mod rewrite is on, but I believe that I have to modify my htaccess. files before I enable them as I'm on localhost.
Can someone advise me on how to gain access to these urls?
Thanks for any and all advice.
The following is a copy of my htaccess.txt at root directory
root/.htaccess.txt
Code: Select all
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# Netscape 4.x has some problems...
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</IfModule>

# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# php_value post_max_size 999M
