Modify Metadot configuration file
Metadot uses a configuration file that associates database information with the web server that you are running. It is located: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/etc
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/youribay/html/etc
Edit Metadot.conf you will need to modify these lines in the metadot.conf file to match the location where you install metadot on your server.
Metadot.conf
