Using WAMPSERVER for windows 7, smartgit and Safe Search Replace I have done the following steps:

• Pulled a wordpress code from a github repository using smartgit
• Downloaded the database from the server's phpmyadmin
• Imported it to my localhost's phpmyadmin using WAMP.
• Replaced the strings from url.com to 127.0.0.1/url

The home page of the website works on the localhost but when I click on one of the menu links I get the WAMP homepage instead of the actual page.

On the wordpress dashboard, I have checked and the URL on pages has been changed to 127.0.0.1/url which is a good sign.I have also checked in the database the actual name of the the page and even the 127.0.0.1/id page did showed a WAMP home page.

What have I done wrong and what can I check to solve the issue?

Tried deleting the default "index.html" file?

Yes I did but it didn't work.

 

I have tried the following in WP-Config to use the localhost URL instead of the one saved to the database but it didn't work:

 

define('WP_HOME','http://127.0.0.1/website');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://127.0.0.1/website');

Go to settings/permalinks in the wordpress dashboard and update permalinks by clicking twice on save changes. That's all.

So you got it to work..?
