Hi gmasky,
To access Drupal hosted on your local web server you will require Purplenova Pro.
Here are the steps to do that,
Step 1. Instal Drupal onto local web server like Apache, IIS etc.
and make sure that it works from your local server.
Step 2. Access it using Purplenova. For this you will need to understand how to host local apps using Purplenova, you can check it out at the Purplenova Help.
I hope this solves the problem,
Thanks,
Purplenova Team.
