Object not found!

When I tried to set up my .dev Wordpress site I got this error message:

'The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.'

Hi Patrick, are you trying to migrate a local installation to your web host?

If so you might be experiencing a problem that WordPress still thinks it's living on your local space.

Try changing your HOME URL in your config.php file.

Also be sure you're putting your wordpress files in the root folder (public_html or www)

Remember you'll also need to make sure you find and save the database details on your webspace because these will be different.

Issue resolved now. I just used MAMP instead I think my anti-virus was interfering with the workings of ServerPress but MAMP is a nicer application anyway I feel.

Awesome, glad you got it solved. I don't use serverpress myself. I use XAMPP for Windows and it serves my needs just fine. :)
