That should show you a login page.

By "yoursite.com" I mean your Drupal site. By "user" I meant the word "user". If it doesn't work then there must be a problem with your setup and I can't say anything more without knowing all the details.

i am working on a localhost.

i am working on a localhost. now i typed http://localhost:8084/mysite/?q=user
It is not going to the login page but giving a message

Site off-line
mysite Site is currently under maintenance. We should be back shortly. Thank you for your patience.

thanks

Hmm... this was not supposed

Hmm... this was not supposed to be happening in the user page.

Anyway, you can look in the "variable" table in database for an entry with name site_offline and value s:1:"1"; and change the value to s:1:"0";

Another way, without doing anything in the database, is to override that value in your settings.php file:

 * To override specific entries in the 'variable' table for this site,
 * set them here. You usually don't need to use this feature. This is
 * useful in a configuration file for a vhost or directory, rather than
 * the default settings.php. Any configuration setting from the 'variable'
 * table can be given a new value. Note that any values you provide in
 * these variable overrides will not be modifiable from the Drupal
 * administration interface.
 *
 * Remove the leading hash signs to enable.
 */
$conf = array(
'site_offline' => '0',
#   'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
#   'theme_default' => 'minnelli',
#   'anonymous' => 'Visitor',

(I have uncommented the $conf line and added one line under it)

Then log in to your site, set the site to "online" and restore your setings.php file to what it was before.

Thanks rusty, I have sorted

Thanks rusty,
I have sorted out the problem. what i did was i copied the drupal-6.1 during the installation and named the new folder as mysite and i was accessing through
http://localhost:8084/mysite.
Now i tried the http://localhost:8084/drupal-1.6, then i got the adminstration panel.

by the by thanks for your advice
