There is no admin
There is no admin folder.
/admin is actually ?q=admin translated to a clean url.
There is none
There is no admin folder. Drupal is lying to you /admin/something or /node/add do not exist as folders but are mapped (by Apache and Drupal) to functions.
You need to make sure your site is setup to support clean urls:
1. mod_rewrite is enabled
2. .htaccess is present
3. you may need to uncomment & modify RewriteBase in .htaccess

Help please
Hi Guys,
Am a new kid on the block.
Same problem - no admin folder.
From the discussions, I understand that there is no such folder. Then when I click on "Administer" link, what page should I expect? I am completely at dark!
According to the installation instructions, an admin page should show up. But now, I just get a listing of all the files and folders from my root directory / drupal.
Any help would be much appreciated! :)
(I am running Apache on Vista)

When you click on
When you click on the "Administer" link,
- If you have clean URLs enabled, you should expect http://www.yoursite.com/admin
- If not, you should expect http://www.yoursite.com/?q=admin
If you go to /admin and you see a file list, that means that clean URLs are not correctly configured on the server and they don't work, although they are enabled in Drupal (and it uses them in the menus).
The most probable cause is that Drupal's .htaccess file is missing. Upload it from a fresh Drupal package.
The "?q=" works always. So, if this doesn't solve your problem, browse to ?q=admin/settings/clean-urls and disable them, so that your site can work until you fix them.

Hi there,
Thanks for that!
I have RewriteEngine on in my .htaccess file. The URL rewrite still wouldn't work. I will have to double check settings on the httpd.conf of my web server. However, I have a bigger problem to address first - The absence of admin folder in my installation!
<< If you go to /admin and you see a file list >> - No, I dont see admin folder or the file list in my installation directory. The extract does not contain this folder. The folders present are "includes, misc, modules, profiles, scripts, sites, themes" and the files present are ".htaccess, changelog, copyright, cron, index, install.mysql, install.pgsql, install, license, maintainers, robots, update, upgrade, xmlrpc"
I am wondering if these are all the files I would get with drupal and if so where would the other folders such as "admin, user" be.
I am a first timer, so kindly excuse :-)
Again: There is no real
Again: There is no real /admin folder. That was just a "clean URL", an illusion. Now that clean URLs don't work, you can find your admin page at ?q=admin, and you can login at ?q=user
To avoid this kind of confusion, disable clean URLs in ?q=admin/settings/clean-urls as long as they don't work, to make Drupal stop using them in the menu links.
If you have RewriteEngine On in your .htaccess and the URL rewrites don't work, then you must check whether mod_rewrite is installed at all in apache's httpd.conf
Oh now I get it! I can have
Oh now I get it!
I can have a peaceful sleep tonight!
Thanks for the help :-)
