I have a stand up Uberhaus air conditioner with two drain ports this unit is not equipped with a drain pail just two drain ports do we use the lower one at the bottom or the one mid way on the unit and allow it to drain in an external pail?

The drain port can clog, get restricted by condensed moisture by alga or anything. Try to flush, back flush thru the port, not too much at a time, see what comes out. Particles stick to moisture on cold evaporator and drain out with condensation. Sometimes heavily, sometimes nothing.
Unfortunately, I have never seen your original question and have no way to 'pull it up' so, I am shooting from the hip so to say.
Are we talking about a dehumidifier here? Attache a hose to the catch pail and run the hose to a floor drain
Air conditioner? Make sure the window AC is tipped so the outside edge of the bottom is lower than the inside. This will allow condensate to run to the out of doors.
Block? I dunt know ... to hold the outside in the proper position.
If you will clarify your quesitons ... more particulars without going crazy, I will try to address any conderns you may have.
there is a drain plug inside unit.pull unit out of hole and look down to right side of unit in the drain pan you will see a plastic drain port knock it out and the unit will drain
on the rear toward the lower side of unit,tip the unit so the rear of unit is 1/2 inch lower than inside of unit,and make sure drain isnt plugged with debris
An air conditioner of this type always has standing water sitting in the base-tray of the machine as it's running. They're designed to work that way.
However, if the unit leans slightly in toward the inside of your house, then the water in the tray can be deeper than it should and/or add extra humidity to the inside air.
These units are designed to be installed so that they lean slightly to the _outside_ of the window or wall-hole where they are mounted. This way the standing water drains off to the ground outside and isn't so deep on the inside of the unit that it adds too much humidity to the inside air.
Check the mounting of this unit to make sure it leans slightly toward the outside. Also verify that any notch or drain hole on the outside end of the unit, intended to guide draining water, is not clogged with debris (which could also cause the standing water in the unit to be at too high a level).
Also verify that the "vent" is closed, if this unit is equipped with said vent opening. An open vent panel can allow humid outside air inside as the unit is running.
Hope this helps! ;)
