I'm in the process of uploading my alpha-version site. I've got the
Drupal folder uploaded. Now I need to find the db it has stored
things in, and I'm not sure where to find it.
I'm on a new Mac, operating within Mamp. Any chance that any of you
are operating in a similar environment and can tell me which files/
folders I need to upload and to which folders within the webhosting
site?
