	Create the local elgg/engine/settings.php file.
		Be sure to specify unl_social as the database name
		Add this settings file to your svn:ignore list
Create a local directory named elgg_data for elgg to write to outside of the web root.
	Change the permissions so Apache has write access to it.
	sudo chown _www elgg_data

	UPDATE elggdatalists SET value = '/Users/smeranda/Documents/workspace/UNL_Elgg/elgg/' WHERE name = 'path';

** Troubleshooting
******
After navigating to the elgg dir in your browser and filling in the correct database info - 
if you get the error that elgg can't connect to your database do this:
1. find your php.ini file, probably located at /etc/php.ini.default and rename it to php.ini
2. edit the mysql.default_socket line to include the path to your mysql.sock file, e.g.
   mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock

****From here on out we will be dumping data from the live server to import on testing instances only. Changes on test

safe_dump.sql can be imported without the need for modification

when importing full_dump.sql, you must modify certain rows in the tables elggdatalists and elggsites_entity so
that they pertain to the local elgg site instance. 	(so if you see something like
