Hi,
I have running Drupal locally on my computer but connecting to a remote MySQL DB. I am able to connect fine when I add my actual IP address to the allowed connection IP's, however, because I work at a number of different locations I figured I could set up a no-ip.org address to automatically redirect to my IP address wherever I am and add that to my allowed connections list (EG, brian.no-ip.org) . This does not work. Does anyone know if this is possible? is there an extra work port I am missing? work around? Better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi everyone/anyone. Newbie here. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

So Step 3 (here) of the Installation guide says I need to change write access to the settings.php file, but the installation (on a mac local host) seemed to work without me even needing to do this step.

Just 2 Qs here:
Is this going to be a problem? Will it be a problem when I move it to a live server?

I'm kind of hoping for a 'no' answer, but lay it on me as it is. Thanks very kindly =).

Hello,

This is the first time I am using drupal. When I tried to enter the directory where I installed drupal, it is not showing anything. I have uploaded it using Filezilla. Can anyone visit funhousehome.co.cc/site/drupal and see what's the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
Nahiyan
