Restoring on Localhost snafu

Hello,

I am having what I am sure is a silly problem restoring my backup on my local host.

After generating the backup online, I downloaded the .zip file, and then expanded it to the directory I want to use:

[b]http://localhost/Crawl-v3/[/b]

Then I created a new database in phpMyAdmin called crawldb3.

Then I load the page:
[b]http://localhost/Crawl-v3/administrator/components/com_cloner/restore/Joomla.Cloner.php[/b]

This is where I get stuck. The Install Directory comes up as:
[b]/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Crawl-v3/administrator/components/com_cloner/restore/
[/b]
And the install URL comes up as:
localhost/Crawl-v3/administrator/components/com_cloner/restore/

Also the drop down menu to select the clone archive is empty.

I am sure there is something wrong here, because after entering my Mysql details, I get this error on clicking "Start Install":

[b]Could not continue, unable to read the clone backup file! Please make sure you copied the backup in the same directory as Joomla.Cloner.php[/b]

If anyone can tell me what step I am missing, I would be thrilled!

-Nicholas.

The restore script located in that directory needs to be put in your site root directory along with the backup archive!

Please check our Restore FAQ here http://www.joomlaplu...../catid,26/ to see exactly what you need to do!
