Hosting support

I developped a website locally on my computer, than uploaded it to a 'Business Webspace Linux' Hosting of Telekom Austria, in the Document root of the vhost as I wanted short and seo-friendly paths.

I was suprised when I tried to login on the login page with path http://mydrupalsite.com/user ... because this path redirects to the user administration login of the Provider ... as does http://mydrupalsite.com/admin to their own administration panel. The drupal site was running (after I changed the memory limit settings of php.ini) - but login and administration was simply not possible.

The good news first: I copied drupal into a directory, truncated all cache tables and everything was running smooth. Drupal simply rocks :)

I called the support of Telekom Austria to give them the feedback, that their hosting settings are not really 'drupal friendly'. The callcenter guy told me, that these settings are common at the big providers. Well - I run several drupal sites on different hosts from different providers - but that was completely new to me.

My questions to you: Have you experienced this issue with another hosting provider? Is this common? The guy tried to explain me that this is a security issue. I must admit, I didn't understand his explanation ... why could this be a security problem on the settings of the webserver?

how to export content with descriptions created by drupal

Hi,
I migrated a drupal site to a new server (both new and old servers are virtual dedicated servers from Godaddy). I downloaded all files and database from the old server and then uploaded and configured the same to new server. Now some of the top menu links of the home page is not working. You can see the old server site here: www.commercialloancoach.com and new site (DNS is still pointing to old server) here: http://68.178.157.10/~commlc/

Hello,
I've migrate my drupal site on netsons.
Every time i do a modify an error 404 occur even if the page have saved!
i can't find the reason.
I've changed .htaccess for netsons:
# RewriteBase /drupal
RewriteBase
because my files aren't in a drupal directory on netsons.
Then i've modified the settings.php file for internationalizzation. And i've configured drupal for pathauto module and i use clean url.

Could someone do help me?

Drupal gives me an error saying that i must set register globals to off... this sounds familiar doesnt it? Heres the catch: I actually do have access to my server and my php.ini file says that register globals are off. i have read all the tips and tricks about placing a short line of code in the .htaccess file and the tip about copying the php.ini file to the drupal root and none of them worked. What else can i do?
