So I got the install running at localhost/mydomain.com This is a real domain, it also runs on a webserver. The idea is to develop locally and then push the changes ton the live site. But when I go tho the loginpage, at localhost/mydomain.com/wp-admin I am redirected to the live version of the site on the web. How can I prevent this so I can login to my local site? Thanks

You will have to disable the entry in the hosts file to access the live site or use http://www.mydomain.com to access the live site. I am guessing the domain was not added correctly can you check if the domain entry was added in the hosts file. You can check the content of hosts file from Manage Domains in Enduser Panel of Ampps. ----------------------- Follow AMPPS on, Twitter : https://twitter.com/AMPPS_Stack Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/softaculousampps Google+ : https://plus.google.com/+AmppsStack

OK, makes sense. I already deleted the domain and installed the site in 127.0.0.1/mysite This works well and I can now easily access both local and remote sites. If only I could find a way to easliy push database changes from local to remote and vice versa then it would be a perfect development setup. Thanks
