I have installed wordpress, now the http://localhost/wp-login.php and the likes are okay. Assuming that I want to go to a page such such as http://localhost/something-here/ gives me a 404 error. This 404 error happens only on localhost not on a live server.

What is the reason for this.

Thanks Jean

Try flushing your URLs: go to Settings → Permalinks → Update.
