I am a noob with EE (but not CI) so please be gentle.

I copied the site+DB from staging to my localhost.  I made edits to config file and database config.  Everything seems to work fine EXCEPT File Manager.

I can see when the File Manager page loads (D=cp&C=content_files) there is a status bar message which says “Waiting for 0.0.0.0” where 0.0.0.0 is the ip address of the staging server.  So it’s clearly reading SOMETHING from the staging server (when it should not be).

I also cannot upload files, I get the message:
Thumbnail could not be created for the image. Please make sure the thumbnail directory is writable.

I have confirmed that the img/ directory and all its subdirectories are writable and owned by the apache user.

I have obviously missed a config item changing the staging server address to localhost… but I have searched all config files and DB tables and cannot find it.

Any/all help appreciated.

OK… I figured out the accesses to the staging server… EE saves server paths in the serialized site data in the DB… hmmmm.. .not happy about that, but now I know.

BUT… I still cannot upload files, no thumbnail, no upload file.  Any ideas?

Right!... I’m an idiot.  The GD2 library was not properly installed.  Never mind.
