Why is my custom config file created in the root server directory?

I don't have my code at hand right now but I followed the custom config file tutorial that is on the wiki http://wiki.bukkit.org/Introduction_to_the_New_Configuration, but basicly what is happening is that when my plugin is enabled by the server it creates the normal config.yml correctly and in my plugin directory but when the custom config file is created, it gets placed in the root directory of the server.

Why is this happening?
And
How can I fix it to place my custom config in the proper directory?

Also if I don't have enough info to solve the problem, I can put my code on tommarrow night.

When you initialized the File object which represented where you would save your file, what did you initialize it with? i.e. which values did you give to the constructor?

 

I recall using (getDataFolder(), "races.yml")

 

@quaz3l
I changed the wiki article which will hopefully solve the problem
you can look at the history to see what has been changed.
http://wiki.bukkit.org/index.php?ti...ion&action=historysubmit&diff=5183&oldid=5165

guess this was a case of the textbook not actually testing the code again.

 

Thank you it works now!
