This is from the handbook:

The default configuration can be found in the
'sites/default/settings.php' file within your Drupal installation.

Set $base_url to match the address to your Drupal site:

$base_url = "http://www.example.com";

I'm not sure what to put for this setting. Do I put the name of my webserver? or does drupal give me a site? or something else?

Thanks,
~Ian

If your site is going to be accessed at http://www.example.com you put in http://www.example.com. If your site is going to be accessed at http://www.example.com/drupal, you put in http://www.example.com/drupal

Just make sure that you don't add a trailing slash at the end..

A search on Drupal for base url returns a helpful page on tolerant base url.

Copy and paste, just like in CS101 ;)
