404 Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server

Question

I'm having small troubles and was wondering if someone can help me over the hump. I pulled a copy of a website down from Hostgator and I'm trying to set it up on my local machine using WAMP but, I keep getting an error when trying to access the site. Here is what I have tried..I went to Apaches httpd.conf file and uncommented the # from LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. Also I have changed the AllowOverride None to All. With that said, Im not sure what else to look for. Please note within my application my httaccess files do not have a (.) in front of them (.htaccess). I'm not sure if that is worth noting or not. Any ideas as to what I need to do to access my site? When I access the application I do see a cached version (white screen), but when I click the link to log in I see the 404 Not Found.

In Ubuntu I did not found httpd.conf, It may not exit longer now. Edit in apache2.conf file working for me.

cd /etc/apache2
sudo gedit apache2.conf

Here in apache2.conf change

<Directory /var/www/>
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride None
     Require all granted
</Directory>

to

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>
