Thanks for your reply :D.
I was probably was unclear in what I was requesting - Clearly database
data are stored in a number of files on the webserver's hard drive. I
want to know what the default directory is, if any, and what the
default extension is for MySQL files, if any.
Our 'online' website has a database of phone #'s etc
(http://chamber.parrysound.com/search.php if anyone is interested in
our site :P ), but as I said the mirror I made via FTP on my hard
drive lacks the database.
Thanks for your help,
Shaun
