# Issue accessing localhost

 * Hello,
 * I normally use Duplicator for migrating my web data to localhost and this is 
   the first time that I’m having a hard time solving an issue.
 * Let’s see, I can’t access the web contents hosted in localhost. I think I made
   a mistake in installer.php when I ticked the option for keeping original .htaccess,
   web.config and user.ini files. Since then, when I access to localhost through
   Firefox and Safari, the localhost route redirects to my web URL, so I can’t access
   localhost. I tried downloading a new package (installer and archive) but the 
   issue persists. Can you help me, please?
 * Thank you very much!

 * I tried taking the installer.php and zip to an iMac (which is already connected
   to the same network my laptop is on) and the files seem to be corrupted. When
   I executed the installer file some code displayed on the browser and the zip 
   file doesn’t match the original size.
 *  I created a new package on that computer and I could access localhost smoothly
   through the browser. So the problem seems to be in the laptop settings.
 * I copied the ‘good’ files on the laptop with the issue and once again, I still
   can’t access localhost. I will try accessing localhost on the laptop with another
   user.Still digging…

 * I tried accessing on the laptop as invited user and disable htaccess file on 
   the plugin settings and the issue still persists.

 * For what it is worth, I ran the installer on the computer (I have made no progress
   running the installer on my laptop) and I couldn’t complete the installation.
   I obtained this message in step 1 of deployment:
    Server Code: 0 Status: error

 * Hey [@tinymonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tinymonkey/),
 * Take a look at the installer-log.txt to see if there are any clues in the file
   if none then you might check the PHP error logs to see if there is anything at
   that location…
 * Hope that helps~

 * Hello [@corylamleorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) ,
 * The issue seems to have been resolved. Today I have access to localhost on my
   laptop and I installed the package smoothly. I still don’t know what happened
   the other day. Anyway, thanks for your help!
