[mapguide-users] more 2.1 problems (GDAL this time)

How do I get at that config.xml? I don't see it in Maestro...that's 
likely the problem though. I had tried to keep my alias the same, but 
thanks to a buggy handling of mapped drives, that didn't work. I then 
copied things locally and moved the alias....which means that the local 
path would be different. But I have gone into Maestro and edited the 
path since then, to use the new alias....would it not overwrite the 
config.xml with the new, correct path?
