I have cloned a whole online website built with prestashop by FTP and hosted it on a XAMPP. I have downloaded the SQL dump and imported it locally with phpMyAdmin. I have changed the conf files to use the local database.
When I go to localhost/myProject it redirects me to the website url. Why is that ? is there another configuration setting to edit? I have already looked in the conf table in database and domain URL was already set to "localhost", even on the online version.
I found a reference to the website in table "ps_shop_url". I changed its values to localhost, now when I go to localhost it tells me "this page has an infinite redirection loop"
change the you site url to localhost in database.sql file as below: Change www.yourdomain.com to localhost & make sure you have putted your site htdocs directory...
Can you show entry that you have made in ps_shop_url table.
Physical url should be /prestashop1606/ for localhost/prestashop1606/
