 * Hi,
 * I’ve just been trying to get an offline testing version of my blog on my laptop.
 * I’ve got everything working, copying the blog files and database from the live
   server- the only thing I can’t currently get to work is file uploading. I’m using
   MAMP to run PHP and mySQL on my machine (an Apple MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.6.1)-
   not sure if this is relevant.
 * What seems to be happening is that the uploaded files end up in a folder called‘
   data01’ at the root of my machine’s hard-drive, rather than in the correct place
   inside the WordPress blog folder.
 * Can anyone give me some pointers as to what might be going wrong? I imagine there’s
   some setting in a config file somewhere that now no longer points to the right
   place, but I don’t really know where to look for it, unfortunately. Any advice
   much appreciated.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * alx
