    Default Why does localhost opens my live website ?

    Hai,

    On a certain moment my localhost environnement does not work anymore, my host file
    only says "127.0.0.1 Localhost " but the URL "localhost"opens my live website ?
    xampp Apache and SQL is running
    Does some body have an idea how this is possible ?

    regards, Cees

    Your includes/configure.php still has references to the live site.

    For local use, make a /includes/local/configure.php with the correct local parameters.

    If you go nuts trying to make it work, install another copy of ZC locally and use the generated configure.php as a reference point for local use.

    So the other question would be do you have any overrides in your includes/local directory that would define any of those constants before being loaded?

    Also, you might have added a custom .htaccess file to your server (for rewriting for prettified URLs or whatever you've added that didn't come with Zen Cart), and copied it to your local, and your local is therefore processing all the rewrites and redirects in the .htaccess which is taking you back to your live site.

    Okay, now do a complete search of the contents of all your files, looking for your domain name. It shouldn't be in any of your local files.

    The way Zc is written is such that the only place the server name is to appear is in the configure.php files... All other references are relative to that. Custom modifications when made ought to be written the same way. It appears that in such customizations the link(s) added/modified have been hard coded. This can be resolved typically by comparing the affected file(s) to the default ZC template/core files. Alternatively, the template could be switched to the default green template and if proper coding has been done all references will remain relative to the localhost. By proper coding meaning that the default template files remain untouched and all (majority of) modifications are made in template files using the override system.

    hai,

    I am not a php programmer and created itparts.biz without taken care off the override system,
    it's all done on trial and error and help from pro's like yourself, so i am to far into itparts.biz to
    go back to that override system. As you can see at itparts.biz it's an up and running website.
    I realy don't understand the suggestion of drbyte, as the name itparts.biz is used all along the
    website. So i am in need of a proper description where to look for to find the problem
    "why i losed my localhost development environnement"
