    Hi,

    I pulled my remote site down to my local PC. Now when i open the LOCAL manager i am immediately redirected to the remote site.
    - i used the SQL search / edit to change the 3 path items in the database configuration (File base path, File Browser URL and File Manager path) in the LOCAL database (system_settings table)
    - i insured that there was nothing weird in the manager\config.inc.php file
    - i tried to do an install (update) but when i attempt to run the install (http://localhost/modx/website-name/install/), again i am immediately redirected to the REMOTE site (which has no install directory so i get a 404 not found error)

    What file might be redirecting me?

    Thank you very much!
    Steve

      Sounds like the .htaccess file doing something.

        Huzzah! (as Niles and Frazier would say). Thank you Susan!!!

        I’ve been trying to learn how to redirect some of my URLs and i totally forgot about this.

        I am forever in your debt!
