Magento 2 adding my url to my url

[media_bloke]

I moved a cloudways install of magento 2 (2.3.1) locally.

I used git to upload the files, and successfully ran composer install on my end.

I changed the URL in the core_config table to be localhost/pathtoproject 

When I try to access the URL, my exact url gets added to what I typed in. meaning, when I type localhost/pathtoproject, it gets changed to localhost/pathtoproject/localhost/pathtoproject/

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hi @media_bloke,

Make sure that you have added slash in the end of base url in core_config_data table.

http://localhost/pathtoproject/
Instead of
http://localhost/pathtoproject

Correct one: http://localhost/pathtoproject/

I hope it will help you!

Thanks. I'm used to Javascript where you can't use http for local development, so I had left out the http:// entirely.

I added it, and it fixed this particular issue. On to the next one!
