Answer 1

This is a general error, usually occurs when you transfer your magento-2 installation from one location to another. The reason behind this error is that the value store_id and website_id for the admin should be 0 , but when you import the database to a new server, somehow these values are not set to 0.
So to solve this error you will need to make some changes in the database tables itself.

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; UPDATE store SET store_id = 0 WHERE code='admin'; UPDATE store_group SET group_id = 0 WHERE name='Default'; UPDATE store_website SET website_id = 0 WHERE code='admin'; UPDATE customer_group SET customer_group_id = 0 WHERE customer_group_code='NOT LOGGED IN'; SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;

add these line in .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Don't do anything, just check the .htacess file at the root directory. If it's already there, rename it and use the default on and if it's not there then use the default one. Clear your cache / flush your cache and here you go
