EasyPhP and MySql

[Rabbitdk]

I am trying to set up my wordpress blog in EasyPhP so I can edit on my PC and upload to my server.

I have my blog and MySql db imported to my EasyPhP, and can load the site fine on my local server.
But whenever I click a link on the local site it goes the the live page of the clicked link.

I suspect I have to change some settings in the MySql, but what and how?
And will I have to do that everytime I want to upload the local site?

Go to PHPMyAdmin > WordPress DB > Browse the table: wp_options
Then edit the value of siteurl from what ever your site is to the dir it's on you pc, normally its http://localhost/dirforwp

how can't you get it right? All you have to do is put in the url you used to get the site to load on your local server.

If you did that then send a screenshot of your phpmyadmin thing,

I figured it would be like this:

but the links on the local site still point to the live server...

Finally found the answer on google. This tut is for WAMP, but it works the same for EasyPhP:

You were right about changing the site url to http://localhost, but you also have to change "home" to http://localhost.
Works like a charm now
