 * Am trying to run wordpress from a folder in my local system. On the server its
   running from the root. Have downloaded the files. restored the db and then changed
   the home and siteurl through db update query. It has an htacccess file. Changed
   it like below.
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /wordpress/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * But i am not able to access it says page not found. If i append index.php to 
   the end of the url it works fine. When i try pointing to the menu urls it does
   not have the wordpress subfolder to the urls.
 * Please help.

 * Thank you. The siteurl and home was hardcoded and was being overridden. Just 
   glad i ran into it.
