    How to Setup localhost in Culture and Hostnames page?

    Hi there,

    I have setup a local version of our Umbraco website successfully. When I run the solution from Visual Studio, it displays in the browser with the localhost URL, but when I click on any links on the website, it takes me to the live website, instead of using the localhost URLs.

    I was under the impression that I could use the Culture and Hostnames page to add the localhost:

    When I re-opened the Culture and Hostnames page, the localhost domain was no longer there and when I attempted to re-add it, I got an error message stating that the domain was already set in some config file.

    So, my first question is how can I setup my local CMS to use the localhost URLs (eg. stay local) when I click on page links?

    My second question is what happened to my localhost:

    You need update hostname (right click on root node->Hostname and culture) and change url for localhost

    Thanks Yakov, but if you read my question, you'll see that I already did that and that it's not working... that's the problem.

    Hi Sheridan Have a look at this blog post, scroll down to the part where it says Setting up the site to run in your local IIS

    http://www.codeshare.co.uk/blog/how-to-install-umbraco-using-visual-studio-nuget-iis-and-sql-server/

    Hopefully that might help you.
