Satisfied with our test site I decided to go live with it. I moved all of the folders out of the test directory and into the web directory and the site works fine except that my login page has diappeared.

The login block is completely disabled, I didn't need it as I have been logging in through user/login.

But user/login gives me HTTP 404 Not Found?

Reconstructing the test directory has not made it reappear.

Try http://mysite.com/q=user where mysite.com is your site's URL. Do not replace "user" with anything, do it as I show. When you get in, turn log in back on.

If you do not have clean URLs, you'll need to put the question mark in front of the "q".

Thank you. I still get the HTTP 404 Not Found message with or without the question mark.

Oops, never mind :o

I did it wrong. Worked with the question mark. You saved my butt!

THANKS AGAIN!!!

Thanks again for the help. It's not an option leave the login visible on our site, that would just be tacky.

I'll just have to remember that I no longer have clean URLs. Which is odd, because I had them before, but now it isn't even an option.

Oh well. Like most of the Drupal answers I'm looking for, it's probably just a mystery that will never be solved.

Glad I could lend a hand.

Clean URLs is funny. I just got 5.0 working on my PC (with clean URLs) only to go get some modules and see the announcement of 5.1. So I went ahead and installed 5.1 and now clean URLs doesn't work any more.
