I messed up, and now I can't access my admin pages, no login cuz I put it on my front page, and It doesn't recognize my user name and password. Where {in the coded pages} do I go to correct this.

Thanks for any help that you can give.

Oh yeah, the error message I get is "access Denied"

it can't be corrected {in the coded pages}, your username and password are stored in the database.

you would have to look at your user table in the DB and see if UID 1 is there with your username.

also have a problem with my navigation link, it is repeating the link from my ftp, how do I fix that?

like this http://sueswebdesigns.suesman.net/misc/xx/xxx/xxx/xxx/x/user/web/suesweb...

I've never seen anything like that before and without an idea of how that occured I'm not sure how you can go about fixing it.

Looking at your site, I don't see the link that is doing that, but I do see where you have a mix of clean urls and dirty urls.

there is also a link with a double // where there shouldn't be on the request new password link.

It's also kinda odd, that when I use your link to your site, I can't hit the back button to get back to drupal.org without hitting the back button multiple times. This is happening because of a redirect you are using from www. to the actual site without the www.

The links on the front page, that are part of the node, are all referring to an includes folder and don't actually do anything. These links are inside the scrollbox / iframe in use.

viewing your source code on the front page, I notice that there are 2 closing </html> tags and at least one extra </center> tag toward the top of your page.

you've also got a javascript error causing some problems, at least for users if IE7.

I'd highly suggest running your site through a validator and fixing errors of that nature, especially if you have hopes of attracting customers.

Thanks for the comments. I know what happened with the double html, I can fix that no problem. can't actually see the problem cuz I have it all directed to the "frame" so I'll fix this link here so you can see what I am talking about.

I actually took it offline, cuz I relize that the addy showing when you go into the actual site IS my ftp port, and username, don't need any hackers there hehe.

For future reference? When I am working in the admin panel in the cms, what pages of code should I back up, so that this doesn't happen again?

Drupal is DB driven, if you aren't editing the code, there is no need to back the code itself up, you backup your DB.

Though settings in the admin panel can always be reversed in the same admin panel. That being said, maybe I am not quite clear on what you are trying to accomplish and why you think you need a back up of files before you try and accomplish it.

With regards to the link you are talking about, when I view your source code, I see all kinds of references to links that seem to show you have drupal installed in your FTP account and not in your public root ?

something doesn't seem right at all about your installation.
an example of what i mean:

is from your source code, which doesn't make any sense to me.

all of this:

/misc/21/357/862/640/2/user/web/sueswebdesigns.suesman.net/drupal-6/ doesn't have any place in paths, considering drupal is relative to index.php and would only show paths from inside the drupal-6 folder.

I tend to make things more difficult than they are. I am trying to show the drupal nodes on my main page, rather than showing my main page in drupal. There truly are reasons for this that I know no one here understands, but that is okay, once accomplished I understand and that is what is important.

What is going on here, is that I have made changes to the cms that makes it difficult to get back into the account.

My BIGGEST problem is the default address includes my ftp account information, which is never good. I need help in fixing that before I can do anything else to the account.

hard to help you fix it, if it can't be understood what you did to add it there.

as a complete shot in the dark, did you add it as a base_url in your settings.php file ?

Once you start hacking at the code base, you sorta put yourself on an island because you are no longer using drupal as most of us know it. whatt you've done is begun creating a fork or drupal.

Also note: that when you hack away at the code base, you leave yourself in a bind when the next update comes along. Seeing that you are using drupal 6 RC code for live sites means, you won't be able to update to Drupal 6 Full when its released easily. you'll have to hack at D6 Full all over again.

and I didn't install it from the ftp, but from the install.php I don't know why it came up like that. I am going to unistall it and try to start over again.

www.sueswebdesigns.suesman.net

My question was if you installed it in your FTP account rather then your public root, not install it from FTP.

the only way drupal will install is with install.php so that part makes sense.

Remeber when you are typing here, that we can't see your folder structure to know exactly where you have drupal installed on your server. We can only go by the paths that show in your source code when we view it.

I completely deleted the site, uploaded the unzipped drupal 6.0 and reinstalled it. I still get the /misc/xxxx.... in my addressbar, and is still showing up on my veiw source. I HAVE TO GET RID OF THAT. It didn't happen with 5.5 so I am wondering if this is a bug in the 6.0 install file?

Am going to revert EVERYTHING back to the 5.5 cuz we just can't have this. hehe.

Thanks for the help misunderstood. I appreciate all the input.

I don't believe it to be a bug in Drupal 6. My D6 install doesn't do that.

Again without understanding your folder structure it's difficult to help figure out why that is happening to you.

That is the file structure on one that does it, the other one I deleted, drupal 6.x was in it's own directory and still did it.
