Cloning a site to my local drive

Permalink
I have a working site on an external server that I'd like to clone into my MAMP setup. Downloaded all files and sql file and all seemed well except I'm only able to see the homepage. I can't login or see pages beneath it. Also get this at the bottom of page:

Warning: Unknown: open(/var/folders/dw/012p6g9x0k50tw4qrzjgp7jh0000gn/T//sess_748515bd31203e172e69512c44373c60, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/folders/dw/012p6g9x0k50tw4qrzjgp7jh0000gn/T/) in Unknown on line 0

Any ideas on a next step?
Thanks,
Kirk

You should follow some basic steps before transferring the site. Like you should clear your cache, disable pretty url from dashboard etc.

With your recommendation, I disabled pretty url and cleared cache before downloading files and sql files. Connected to homepage on local box, but still unable to get past. Still has this at bottom of homepage:

Anthing else to try? BTW, all tables appear to be OK in database.

Thanks for your reply,
