Hi, I'm working on Drupal for months and now activating Clean URL I get this conflict..
When find for www.fixweb.it/admin by Drupal Menu Administration I'll get in site admin page of server.
Server helpdesk tell me that this setup is for all sites on server and it is not changeable.
Can I try with some Redirect, CostumPath or I have to change Drupal code??
Thanks.
www.fixweb.it

... would be to move your drupal install to a sub-directory so that www.fixweb.it/drupal/admin no longer conflicts with www.fixweb.it/admin

This will definately work, and is simple to set up, though I appreciate that you might not want your whole site to be in a sub-directory like this.

You could probably also combine this with some apache rewrite rules, but I only have very limited experience with that.

An easier fix is to just create two Drupal url aliases.

Enabled the path.module

The set up:

originalpath - new alias
admin -> administer
user -> account

That's what I do anyway.

I am confident that this is likely to be the solution I need.

However the big issue was that I could not get into the Drupal Administer area to make the changes... ....so I got my hosting company to disable the site control panel while I made the following changes.

"The set up:

originalpath - new alias
admin -> administer
user -> account"

Does not mean much to me. Is there a "path module" menu item I am missing? Perhaps to do the change is Administer / Site building / URL aliases???

So far the documentation says:
Path 6.14 Allows users to rename URLs.

The module documentation (located here http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/admin/build/path)

Are the examples on the documentation and the above the actual syntax you enter?? As I am changing Admin I do not want to get it wrong - I believe that the consequences could be major.

Administer / Site building / URL aliases / Add alias

Am trying:
Existing system path: admin
Path alias: administer

...and it worked! (phew)

For the future, I'm guessing that you can turn on the module by going directly to:
/admin/build/modules

Then to the module once activated:
/admin/build/path

At least that's what I'll be trying next time. (This first time my host turned the site control panel off temporarily. I have asked them to try and find a more permanent solution - which if given I will post here.)
