Wordpress Live copy & Xampp with different port

So there is this live wordpress-site and I have to make some new adjustments. Therefore I dumped the whole database and copied the files via FTP to my localhost (c:\xampp\htdocs\mycopy). However I run XAMPP on port 808 and the wp-copy can't deal with this.

http://localhost/mycopy/

404 - Not found

Tried it with

http://localhost:808/mycopy/

301 - moved permanently -> redirects to 

http://localhost/mycopy/

and that gives again 404 not found.

Then I found the wp_options table in the database and set the "siteurl" and "home" both to 

http://localhost:808/mycopy

Still no change...however I can open

http://localhost:808/xampp/splash.php

with my browser and it`s working like a charme.

Additional note:

http://localhost:808/mycopy/wp-admin/

redirects to www.livepage.de/wp-admin/

What did I miss?

I found the prob....and I am as dumb as a brick. httpd.conf has this line

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

and I changed it to 127.0.0.0.1:808

now take a wild guess what my problem was....But thx for your answers, I appreciate it!

You need to change links in database. WordPress stores full path links in the DB.

Set DB_HOST to "localhost:808" in wp_config.php

Then use this tool to replace urls in the database:

just follow the instructions
