EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue.

Description of my issue:

My sites run on Joomla 1.7.1 and the latest versions of akeeba and admintools pro.
Recently, after a restoration in localhost on my PC, I am unable to access the administrators.
After entering my login and password, a 404 is under wamp or XAMP.
I tried several backups of multiple sites jpa or zip format, same result.

I tried to transfer all of files except the file named configuration.php to localhost, overwriting files creating by restore, same result.

Can you tell what I can do to acces again at the administor in localhost ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please check your XAMP error log file to see if there is any more information on the 404 error, specifically what file it can't find. This is not a "usual" error for a restore to a different server.

In the firebug console, there is :

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost/nameofmywebsite/index.php"

I found how to fix this bug.In the configuration.php, you need to replace :

  $live_site = 'URL web site';

by

 $live_site=' ' 

and you need to remove these lines :

	var $MetaTitle = '1';
	var $legacy = '0';
	var $xmlrpc_server = '1';
	var $debug_db = '0';

For information, the $live_site variable was automatically configured during the restoration and the other lines are also automatically added as they are not in the original configuration.php.

I'm going to be careful the next time and I thank you for your explaining.
