Using a test forum

[Blooded]

Hello everyone

I need to test some things in my forum so i install vbulletin on localhost with wamp server and upload my database in the localhost but i cant work with it, everytime i type http://localhost/forum.php it re-direct me to my real forum url!!
I know i can start with a new database but is not the same i need to test it on "my real forum".

How can i test my actual data base with out having this problem?

Thanks a lot :up:

You will need to update the board url to point to your local install. You can do so at the acp of your test forum->Settings->Options->Site Name / URL / Contact Details->Forum URL. Hope it helps.
