Setting up development site problem

Setting up development site problem

I have set up a development site.. running site is www.xxxxx.com, and development site is www.xxxxx.com/dev/.

I changed the core_config_data site so that both normal and secure roots are www.xxxxx.com/dev/. I duplicated the database and modified local.xml to point to it, and cleared the cache. Everything seems to work, except when I go to admin - system - magento connect, I get the home page of the original site (www.xxxxx.com). I read something online about modifying the .htacccess file, which I did (but not sure if correct), and still get same results. can anyone give me a clue what I need to change?

 

here is .htaccess file from www.xxxxx.com/dev/ root:

Re: Setting up development site problem

For your requirement, you need to change 123 line by replacing #RewriteBase /devstore/  with #RewriteBase /dev/
