Hello Everyone
I am new to drupal, but with a bit of searching around and reading all the documentation I managed to install without any problems.
However now that I have Drupal installed if I click on 'Administer' I get taken the admin area of my server not of Drupal! So I cannot add any new modules.
Why is this happening?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Best Regards
Matt

It sounds like your request
It sounds like your request to get to /admin is being handled further upstream by the server (a problem which is likely to cause even more problems until you switch to a more drupal-friendly situation).
Can you talk more about your host, your server set up, etc.?

I am hosted by United
I am hosted by United Hosting. Who have said that I can use Drupal with their server. So I have shared hosting with them, but I do have mod_rewrite access, php.ini access, etc.
Does that help you at all?
url
If you put your mouse-pointer on the administer-link (without pressing it), what url is displayed in the statusline (left-bottom) of your browser?
The URL is myurl/admin Is it
The URL is myurl/admin
Is it possible to change the Drupal admin so that the URL could be myurl/adminpanel?
Or should I ask my host to change their admin panel (I can imagine the answer here!)
I have thought however that maybe hosting the site in a sub folder might get around the problem. Would the url then be: myurl/subfolder/admin?
What do you think? Thanks for your help!
without clean URLs?
Can you get to example.com/?q=admin perhaps?
Clean URLs no more
I tried your example to login to the site and it worked a treat!
Then I just turned off clean URLs; not something I need. And it is working fine!
Thank you all for your help!!
This worked for me as well.
This worked for me as well. I'm removing the clean urls :-)
