hey all thanks for any help and ideas.

i just switched to a new hosting company and i am waiting for my dns stuff to take effect so i am rebuilding every thing useing the ip address.
i have drupal 5.X installed my problem is that i am using the ip address and not a domain name so when drupal sends stuff it goes to root of ip
not root of my username

eg. http://64.xx.xxx.xxx/~username/index.php -will pull up the drupal main page but when i try to login it kicks it back to

http://64.xx.xxx.xxx/?q=node&destination=node

i need to have it put ~username before it so i can work on it before the server goes up.
and then i need to remove ~username when the server goes up.

how do i ad this to drupal so i can get some work done.

Thanks for the help

The quick and dirty solution is to turn off clean urls.

If you need to keep clean URLS you need to edit the .htaccess files to reflect your setup.
