4.7 beta 3 demo/test site anywhere?

Does anyone have a 4.7 demo or sandbox site up somewhere? (I'd love to have a look before updating my 4.6, but my shared host requires an upgrade fee to add another mySQL database.)

Use database prefix

You can use databse prefix to create more tables in your existing database. So, two (or more) drupal installations can use the same mysql database.

This is documented here:

Running fine here

I'm always running the latest versjon of Drupal here:
http://lll.servecounterstrike.com:380

My ISP blocks incoming connections on port 80 so I can't host it clean. but using an alternative port works just as fine (just looks more ugly). Your firewall may block outgoing connections on port 380 (and any other non standard ports if you run your firewall in paranoia mode) so be sure this is open.

Working Drupal installation: http://saivert.no-ip.com:380 | Personal homepage: http://saivertweb.no-ip.com | Photo album: http://pictures.no-ip.com

localhost

You can also run a drupal site locally. To enable this you need to install MySQL, Apache and PHP. The easiest is to install a package (e.g. XAMPP) and run the servers only when testing.
