Deploy a website downloaded from internet using wget (Tomcat 8.0 RC)

[Vikram Singh <vs...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I downloaded a website say "test.org" using wget utility. Now I want to
deploy in Apache Tomcat 8.0 RC. That I have done it.

But I want to do in this manner that I want to access "test.org" locally
from my browser as if I am browsing on the internet because links in
the test.org refers to itself. Because when I click any link it goes to
Internet
and not to my locally saved website.

I do not know how to do this. I also searched in the Internet.

Please help
Thanks

Vikram

Why not create a local copy with the links converted ?

You should be able to edit your hosts file by adding a line like
127.0.0.1 test.org
which will override the dns lookup to test.org's true IP address.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file for the location of the hosts
file on your platform.
