I have a website that is currently live online (Version 4.03.07).  I am looking to upgrade it to the latest 5.x version, but I rather not perform that on my live site until I run a test first.  I copied my SQL Database and all the Website files to my local system.  Problem is when I try to browse to the "localhost" to see my website off my local machine's IIS Server, it redirects me to my LIVE site.  Is there a way I can change a configuration file on my local system so that it does not redirect to the LIVE URL?  That way I can know that my test is working 100% off my local system?

Apologies, I actually figured this out by the time the post was accepted by the moderator.

I updated the local web.config file to point to the proper DB in the connection string for starters.
Then I updated the values in the HTTPAlias field in the PortalAlias table.

:-)
