Installing Drupal

I am sure this will have a simple solution but I am trying to enable clean url's and getting the error that they cannot be enabled. The htaccess file wasnt present so I have added it and yes it is .htaccess and not htaccess.txt My drupal site is setup on my test server with its on virtual directory (below). Thus I have assumed that I should leave the settings for RewriteBase as default as I presume that my site is effectively in / as far as the virualhost is concerned. I access it via a web browser with drupal.dev (setup on my dns server.

Hi everyone,
I am new to Drupal 7 so, please, excuse me it this was already answered. I tried searching around the forum but found no replies.

My boss wants me to restrict the /user path to certain IP in the local network only. HE does not want anyone to access it from the Internet.

The problem is that he does not want any modules installed to do this.

Can I change or add something to Apache to be able to achive this:

Hi all, First time poster here and relative newbie to the Drupal world. I'm not sure if this post fits this particular forum given it is related to migration but I figure in a round about way, that is installing Drupal!

So basically we have been charged with the task of migrating a Drupal installation from one server to another server. I have transferred all files and as far as I can tell have placed them in an identical location on the new server and I have imported the required databases from the old server.

As per the various migration guides out there I have edited the settings.php file within the site to ensure that the relevant database connection strings are correct as per the new server.

However, when I log on to the server I am greeted with the Drupal installation screen. I don't receive any errors (certainly not on screen).

I guess the good news is that at least I am seeing the Drupal installation screen which means the new web server is detecting the system.

Can anyone point me in a direction of why Drupal would be hitting the installation screen instead of displaying the site? Have I missed another step? Perhaps I have the Virtual Host document root pointing in the wrong spot but the fact that the installation screen comes up suggests to me that there is something else missing.

I am using Drupal version 7.10, and have tried several times to install the Drupal Software, yet I keep receiving this error message.

""SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'ubby4ev_hp_drupal0.blocked_ips' doesn't exist !!!!"""
I am using www.platiniumglobalventures.com/install.php
Pls somebody should give me a step by step instruction on how I can resolve this. Thanks.
