No wp-config.php file on local install of wordpress – site still displays

My first thought is that your site is using a wp-config.php file that’s located in the parent directory of your WordPress install.

NOTE: Since Version 2.6, wp-config.php can be moved to the directory
directly above the WordPress application directory.

src

Some admins like to use this feature in an attempt to make their setup more secure.
