Problems Setting Up Remote Wordpress Site on Local Wamp

Question

New to php and wordpress. Trying to set up one my website on my machine. Local WAMP server is running fine. I have another website running on it. This website was a fresh installation of wordpress on my local. But this other website that I'm trying to setup (downloaded files from server) loads the home page but I cannot access admin and any other pages eg when I try to access admin I get redirected to

http://jfr.local/wp-admin/jfr.local/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fjfr.local%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

jfr.local is my local website setup as virtual host on WAMP. I already imported website and had to change site url in wp-options table because initially nothing was working. But now I don't know what I need to to do. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

So I figured this out. Issue was that "http" was missing in the url in wp-options table. After this change I could log into admin but other pages on the site were still not showing. I read somewhere that by visiting each page within admin the permalinks get re-created. So that is what I did and all pages started showing after this. So seems like everything is working fine right now.
