Moving from live server to localhost issues

I want to start trying to switch up my workflow to localhosting w/ git and then pushing to github and my server w/ a service hook, as the end goal.

I've downloaded my files and my database onto my comp, have my db installed in localhost/phpmyadmin w/ xampp running apache and mysql.

I installed a fresh zen-cart 1.5.6... then I copied my files overtop of those keeping the configure.php files from the install, but when I try to use the fix_cache_key.php utility it keeps loading my live domain. like mysite.com instead of localhost/zen156/fix_cache_key.php gets kicked to mysite.com/fix_cache_key.php (which obviously isn't on my server)

I thought that fix_cache_key utility was no longer necessary from say 1.5.3 on?!

Sure that there isn't some record in either of includes/local or admin/includes/local that also was copied over and referenced the older/other site?

MC is correct - you won't need fix cache key anymore
Be sure your local configure.php files reference your WAMP environment and not your live environment.

I think it was an issue w/ the .htaccess file RewriteCond and browser caching it.

thanks for your thoughts/time on it though (:

Right that's another file that differs between local and live. Be sure when you set up your auto deploy that these files are passed over.
