Drupal 7.x

Upgrade from Drupal 6 to 7 failed. Due to lack of PDO (PHP Data Objects).
However, after PDO was installed, Drupal still does not work.
Why does Drupal block my IP address? How can it be fixed?

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'pucho_drpl.blocked_ips' doesn't exist: SELECT 1 FROM {blocked_ips} WHERE ip = :ip; Array ( [:ip] => 1xx.2xx.1xx.1xx ) in drupal_is_denied() (line 1779 of /drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc).

So pretty much I want to run like a test server. Let me elaborate.

So here's whats going on. I am using acquia Dev Destop because thats what I found in a youtube video as to 'how to make a site using drupal'. So i've been working with that alot, I made the localhost url and stuff and I got theme's, moduals and everything working great, it looks beautiful to me. But I understand that this is only local, so only I can see.

If you go to www.duke.edu, the search returns a search result on the left and the people and places result on the right. I like to know if there is any way we can do the same in Drupal.

Hello everyone.
I want to add some javascript code to my Drupal page that includes image rotation. I have the code in a separated page and I know it works, however when I try on Drupal it does not work.

First, I tried adding all the code (script+body) in a block. I read about allowing javascript on blocks and make it work however my image rotation did not show.

So, I tried something more drastic. I went to my template directory and searched for the html.tpl.php ... here I "hardcoded" my code that I wanted to appear on the section of every page which is the following:

Hello, I'm wondering if I can create two drupal sites using the same database?
The current project i'm working on needs two websites and both need to have the same users.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi drupal community.

I have drupal running on an Amazon EC2 instance that is (I think ) set up with Virtual directory.
ie. the drupal install folder lies under /drupal, but I am able to access the site by just the IP only (http://111.11.11.1)

My problem is this, when I set the base_url field in my settings.php file, to a domain name that I own, the entire site breaks with all kinds of css issues and jquery errors.

I looked at the .htaccess file and tinkled with the rewrite rules, but to no avail.
