[maplab-users] file picker app starting in wrong directory

[Matt Doggett]

Well, I rebooted my server, deleted my installation of MapLab, then
re-installed MapLab and I still get the same thing....the file picker
app always opens the "browser" in the htdocs/common directory and I
can't browse 'up' to where my mapfile is located. I even went through
the steps to compile and re-install php and mapserver but to no avail.
 I get the same behavior in both IE (on my Win2k) and Mozilla (on my
Linux) so I know it's not a browser/client thing.
 In addition, I can't even create a new mapfile as I get an error (Can't
create "/home/mistral////test.map").

So, in short, my MapLab installation is basically worthless....I can't
do anything with it. I have no clue as to what's happening here.  It
worked just fine on Monday. Any ideas out there?
