wordpress problem: exporting site and installing on new address

    Hi

    I try to export a wordpress site I have and install it on my pc at localhost/newsite (localhost can be another domain in the future).
    After I fixed all, the site’s homepage loads, but when I click a page, i get to the page’s url back it displays localhost main panel (all the folders etc…)
    I use wamp.
    WP ver 3.3.1

    What I did:
    1. Search replaced all domain.com to localhost/newsite
    2. On wp-config.php I changed the DB definitions from the domain.com server to the localhost DB.
    3. Then went to localhost’s phpmyadmin and imported the DB.

    What am I missing here?
    Why do the pages display the localhost admin panel instead of the page content (and show the page’s url)?

    Can anyone help here?
