Please bear with me because I'm new to Drupal...

I am trying to setup a production site locally, I setup the database with users and access and all that but now when I go to the local address I do get the correct theme but instead of the site I get the "Welcome to your new Drupal website! Please follow these steps to set up and start using your website:

1. Configure your website Once logged in, visit the administration section, where you can customize and configure all aspects of your website."

etc etc. I click on admin and the page is just empty except for a header (Says Access Denied). Is this some sort of htaccess issue or somethign simple I'm not doing?

Also I should mentino I am running this on OSX Leopard

Thanks

that is the default welcome message on a fresh installation.

you need to login to your site, either through the login block or the login page :

http://sitename/user

Since you have changed the theme, I guess most probably you have lost the navigation block.

direct link to block page :

http://sitename/admin/build/block (need to see if a block called "Navigation" is assigned to a particular region)

Hi, actually the problem turned out to be that I have an old DB which is completely broken. I put in the new DB and now everything works great. Thanks for your help anyways!!
