Hello

I have ftp'd a working drupal site to my local machine. It appears that mostly relative paths were used, but my primary links don't work.

While the correct path shows up in the address bar, the Utility Charles shows that the application is looking for folders that don't exist, in the localhost root directory.

so instead of looking in localhost/app/forum for the forum, ( and that's what appears in the address bar) the app is actually looking for localhost/forum - which doesn't exist.

Thoughts?

What is "app"? Is it a directory where you have installed Drupal or is it part of a Drupal path alias?

What is the url of Drupal's home page and what is its installation directory?

By 'app', I just meant the drupal application.

so localhost/drupal5.10/.

Two places to check:

- In your sites/default/settings.php file, make sure that you $base_url is either disabled with a # in front, or that it includes the "/app" part.
- In Drupal's main .htaccess file, check the RewriteBase line, try to disable it with an # or try to make it /app. Which is the correct setting depends...

And of course go over the menu itself at admin/build/menu. If your link paths are internal Drupal paths, they should have neither an "app" part nor any front slash.
