[maplab-users] problem with creating and saving new map files

[Philipp Jacob]

Hello,

i'm running suse 8.1 and maplab2.0rc3 with mapserver 3.6.4.
when trying to create a new map file or saving a modified map file with 
'save as map file' i get an error, that the file can't be created.
the path for the file is named 
'/srv/www/htdocs/maplab///projects/world/world.map'

the problem is quite obvious, the three slashes..
one of those is caused by a leading slash in the 'save as' dialog box 
when i browse through the directories, which should not be there.
but whithout this, there is still one slash too much. where does this 
come from?

i appended my maplab.xml.
could someone help me with my problem?
