Magento 1.9 – Can’t Access Local Admin Panel

adminadmin-panellinkmagento-1.9

As described in the title i am dealing with the following problem.

I took a back up of a Magento based site that I am currently working on, placed it in my document root folder and finally extracted it.

I can see the home page of the site, but when i try to gain access as administrator via Magento admin panel i get this message

the requested url was not found on this server.

The above message is also displayed when a link is pressed..

There is a problem with your .htaccess. Probably URL Rewrites are not working. Open your .htaccess you will find a code RewriteBase

if your project is at the Root of the server you should put

RewriteBase /

If it is in the subfolder suppose test then your rewrite base should be

RewriteBase /test/
