Joomla! VirtueMart - Unable to make changes locally - joomla

I'm using Joomla! 1.5.14 and VirtueMart 1.1.3
My codes are hosted on my website. But now that i wanna make changes, i put the codes into XAMPP so that i can run them locally and test it out first before i put them up into the internet.
The problem is, after i logged in as administrator (http://localhost/mysite/administrator/), whenever i click on any links (example: "Manage user fields", "Edit store", etc..), it redirects me to my live site.
If i edit from there, the changes will be made straightaway on my site (which i don't want to).
May i know which files and what are the codes that i should change so that when i click on the links that i want to make changes, it will still be in localhost?

Go to your configuration file in
administrator/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php
Change the live-site URL from localhost to your live one.

My CSS in Joomla admin side is not running?

I have a joomla website (https://cctvforum.id). Last week, it has not issue at all. But, when I open the website, the CSS is not running, even in the joomla admin site. I have no idea what caused it. I use joomla 3.3.3 and hathor admin template.
I can't even change the template via admin panel. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you see the error at the top of the page: The template for this display is not available. Please contact a Site administrator.
Looks like your template folder is gone or if you were using an alternative template, that this no longer exists. Check your filesystem for the templates folder. If it is no longer there, restore it from a backup.
The admin template can be found in the folder administrator/templates and if that is not there, you can get a copy from a fresh Joomla download.
Furthermore, you should really update your Joomla to the latest release which is 3.9.25.

Proceed to Checkout button directing to homepage instead of next step in magento 1.9.1

So the problem is when i upload the website to live server. Everything works fine in local environment.
When i click the Proceed to checkout button it redirects me to the homepage. this does not happen in local environment.
In the live server I have Flushed magento cache; flushed web hosting account cache; Enable error logging but there are no errors, also no extensions are installed.
What does the link for proceed to checkout say in inspector? What i will usually do to troubleshoot issues as such is enabling the default theme to see if the issue still occurs. If it doesn't then it's theme specific. From there, run red lines with the theme having the problem and verify the block with the proceed to cart button doesn't have an error by comparing it to the base theme block.

Changing these settings from the admin panel solved my problem.

Empty page with logo after PrestaShop installation

My website is hosted on OVH (France), with one SQL database.
I have installed manually PrestaShop from the GitHub folder.
After multiple attempts in installing PrestaShop, I finally reached to have it installed but since I choose to use the demo products (in the installation process and as I am new to PrestaShop), I think obtaining a white page with only the logo is surprising to me (see attachment).
I tried to print the errors switching to True the dev parameters from the file defines.inc.php, but nothing was printed.
Also, I see nothing in the console of the browser.
I suspect there is a conflict with the SQL database, but I don't know what to check.
Would you have any tracks to check what's wrong with my installation ?

A&A

How to download magento community edition

I am using this url to download the magento. I registered and login but nothing happening. Every time on download it shows me login popup.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/download
Please help to let me know if i am doing something wrong.
The problem is apparently a local browser issue as I was able to log in, go to the downloads page, choose and be presented with the download popup.
If the downloads page is not working for you, you can always try the direct assets link with either a web browser or wget. For example, to get Magento 1.9.0.1:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.9.0.1/magento-1.9.0.1.tar.gz
And if you know the version and file name, you should be able to work out the file URL for other versions.
Best way to download Magento (at least v2+) without going via gated email signup is:
https://github.com/magento/magento2/releases
I have tried and able to download by using following URL :-
http://www.magentocommerce.com/download/
I am using Firefox & Chrome.

opencart theme not changing

I installed opencart 1.5.6 on my localhost, and it's not possible for me to change the theme. The admin panel says the new theme is active, but the default theme always appears.
I made the same installation on a remote server, and everything is working well there.
I have no idea what's wrong on my localhost. I'm on a new installation on Ubuntu 12.4 with a default configuration for LAMP. I tried to compare the two phpinfo but there are so many things that are different that gives me no clue.
It was just a problem of rights on the theme folder. Very stupid ...
First, I would check your database to see if the change is registered. Use phpMyAdmin (or whatever included with your LAMP stack) and look at the "oc_setting" (prefix may differ) and see if the config_template is set to the template you've chosen via the admin. This will help identify if the issue is database related.
I have the solution, the ACTUAL solution. (For me anyway)
Extract the theme.
Login to your OpenCart website using FTP. Please read our article if
you need help using FTP.
Upload the catalog and images folders to the root of your OpenCart installation.
Once the upload is finished, log into your OpenCart Dashboard and go
to System > Settings
Choose your website from the list, check the box next to it, and select “Edit”
In the store tab you will now see your new theme option available under 'Template'
Click Save.
It has now been updated.
Many, many tutorials online at the moment incorrectly instruct people to upload their theme directly into the catalog > view > theme location as though it were a WordPress theme or similar. You actually need to put the appropriate resources where they need to be.
