This sounds more like an issue with your localhost set-up than duplicator. What method are you using to run your website locally?
My localhost is setup using DeskTopServer which is a program that allows me to easily move between a developer (localhost) and a live site. Haven’t had any problems until just recently.
I tried deleting the .htaccess file to see if it would re-build on my iMac which it did but still can’t access the site through my browser.
That sounds like a local DNS issue, did you make sure your local hosts file is pointing to the domain name you have sfbookportal.dev?
Cory, I’m not sure what you are telling me.
How do I make sure the localhost file is pointing to the domain name of my development web site?
Hi,
I’m also having a similar problem ( I’m just using Mamp though and installing to localhost). Everything runs error free with the installation, but when I try to visit the site I just get a white screen.
I’ve followed this tutorial step by step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFe6lz8p7aQ&feature=youtu.be – although I haven’t created a user for the database – ive just entered the username and password as ‘root’ as per the video instructions. Could this be part of the issue?
My other guess was that the updated file paths could be wrong but as far as I can tell they were all correct.
The duplicate worked perfectly going from local to live, just cant seem to get it working the other way around.
Any help with troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jack
Hi Jack,
The database info has to be exact or else it won’t work. You should be able to find the exact settings from the wp-config.php file. You may also check this link:

Hope that helps!
