Hey guys,

just installed Drupal, all went fine. I get the link page when I'm done.

However, as soon as I press any of the links, I'm told that /admin doesn't exist. It's true too, I can't see it via FTP. Same goes for /node.
I set the base_url in settings.php.

Nothing works however.

Any info on what might be wrong ?

What version of Drupal?

node and admin are not folders that can be seen on the filesystem.

Drupal url paths are not folders. Try to think of them as variables that are used by the script on www.example.com/index.php.

Usually, setting the base_url is not needed. Have you tried it without explicitly setting the base_url in settings.php?

This could also be a clean url's problem. You tried www.example.com/admin and it didn't work, but did you try if www.example.com/?q=admin does work?

Finally, did you check if the .htaccess file is present in the web root? Note that many ftp clients do not show this file even when it is there. Upload it again if you're not sure.

Was a clean URL problem.
