Pages not visible on localhost, when a drupal site is downloaded form a remote host,

By Guddie on 17 Jul 2008 at 14:48 UTC

Hi,

I downloaded Drupal folder and the data base from a remote site, on my PC(localhost) here i can see the front page, the header, footer, menu's side bars etc.
But when i click on login link or any other pages, on localhost, i get an error"Object not found".
And i can login as an admin, as well as view other pages from the primary menu ,when working on the same remote site.

I checked out whether the correct database is imported, what can possibly be the reason!! any suggestions?

I am new to Drupal, and stuck with this problem since a month,.Can someone please help me through.

Thankyou,

Do you load mod_rewrite.so

Do you load mod_rewrite.so in the apache config ?
This is needed for clean url and it sounds like you ran the webpage with clean url on the server and your localhost dosnt support it.
So either you need to get the RewriteEngine to work or change the setting in the database so it wont use clean urls.

Did u mean uncommenting the

Can you check if you got the .htaccess file in the root of the drupal folder ?
There is some FTP clients there dosnt show these files as default.

Hi
I have the same problem.
When I move localhost to remote server or the server to my computer.
I disable all modules and drupal work, but have a strange behavior. When I load all my modules drupal give me a blank page.
The problems are related to a local server in MAMP.

Thanks for any help.

Hey.
There need to be a .htaccess file in the root folder of the drupal installation as well as in the files folder.
And if this is missing and you have clean url enabled you'll get a 404 error from your web server.
The htaccess in the root set RewriteEngine on and does the clean url will work.
So if you dont have this htaccess file download drupal same version as you got and take the htaccess file and put it in drupal root folder.

GR8!! thakyou very much for

GR8!! thankyou very much for the reply,..
This worked ,..
Now i can view many nodes/pages, from the primary menu....
but Admin login still doesn't work, and some sub menus too ,.... they show the same error: "Object not Found, Error 404."

what possibly can be the reason now when i have .htaccess file in the drupal folder too.
