 * Error Message : couldn’t connect to host
 * This is what I get when I try to restore a WP from url. Although I can easily
   access the zip file generated by a plugin at my other site. Any suggestions?

 * Problem solved.
 * Now I have another problem.
 * I am using Microsoft Webmatrix. So, I am using localhost. After cloning my site
   docs.codenvy.com to my localhost site I cannot login to it because it the login
   page redirects me to docs.codenvy.com login page. So, instead of [http://localhost:24752/wp-admin](http://localhost:24752/wp-admin)
   I am redirected in the browser to docs.codenvy.com/wp-admin
 * I can’t fix permalinks since I can even access the right dashboard.
 * Any suggestions how this can be fixed?

 * okay if the restored site is re-directing to the original site,that probably 
   means that the database search and replace failed.
    download [this](http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)
   and follow the instructions (we use the same thing in the plugin)
 * [@8persap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/8persap/) always make sure that
   the link works. if you’re moving a local site onto a live server,you’ll have 
   to upload the zip file to an online server first.
