Where I can set the base url for drupal site. Currently when I go to the site in my localhost, it redirects to the original site. Please help me.
I have tried setting the $base_url in the sites/default/settings.php
Here is the portion where I set the base url
/**
* Base URL (optional).
*
* If you are experiencing issues with different site domains,
* uncomment the Base URL statement below (remove the leading hash sign)
* and fill in the URL to your Drupal installation.
*
* You might also want to force users to use a given domain.
* See the .htaccess file for more information.
*
* Examples:
* $base_url = 'http://www.example.com';
* $base_url = 'http://www.example.com:8888';
* $base_url = 'http://www.example.com/drupal';
* $base_url = 'https://www.example.com:8888/drupal';
*
* It is not allowed to have a trailing slash; Drupal will add it
* for you.

# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com'; // NO trailing slash!
$base_url = 'http://localhost/mysite'; // NO trailing slash!
