   I am having a problem with trying to load up my wordpress blog onto my localhost.

   Everything is connecting fine as far as the database and the files. When I try to pull up my blog on localhost using
   http://localhost/wordpress2

   It will pull up my blog using the online version and giving me a 404 error. So eesentially it is trying to connect to the web instead of staying local.

   My question is what do I have to change to keep it local instead of my blog trying to connect to the web. Currently I am looking for a new host for my site and want to test some new thing before I launch it live again.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Do i need to change something in my database to keep from connecting to the web or what???

   Thanks

   I was looking around and I found my answer right here.

   This was exactly what i needed to do and the instructions are laid out perfectly.

   It never ceases to amaze me, but more than likely there is a tutorial for everything here.

   Thanks
