Hi all,

I've been using Drupal for 3 years now, but lately I upgraded to 6.15. After neglecting my site for some time I wanted to work on it today, but I found out that I'm missing some really crucial Administer options, one of them is 'Site Configuration'. It sounds really stupid, but I can't find it anywhere... At the moment, my Administer menu only has the following: Content Management, Site Building and User Management.

Unfortunately this thread did not help me: http://drupal.org/node/181603

Can somebody please help me? Thanks a lot!!

I'm assuming you're logging in as user/1 (super admin).

Try rebuilding permissions (admin/content/node-settings) and clearing your caches (admin/settings/performance), if that doesn't work try going directly to the Status Report (admin/reports/status) and see if there are any clues.

Thanks for the tips, but I've tried everything you mentioned but nothing works :-(. The Status Report doesn't give any clues either :-s.

Anyone? Thanks!

Site configuration is at example.com/admin/settings -- what do you see if you enter it directly in the address bar?

When I enter .../admin/settings directly in the address bar I get the following menu:
- Date and time
- Error reporting
- File uploads
- Input formats
- photobar
- Site information
- Site maintenance

Still no site configuration... or am I missing something?

Those ARE the settings (some of them) ... you can access them using the links provided on your admin/settings page.

It seems the menu items for various administration pages are missing ... check your Navigation menu ... see if they have been disabled (admin/build/menu-customize/navigation).

Thanks, but still no luck on getting the Site Configuration menu...

I'm not sure how else to explain it: "Site Configuration" = "admin/settings"

But then how do I configure modules? For example, I wanted to configure the Picasa, Google Analytics or Guestbook module, but the only option I have is 'configure permissions'. I remember that being part of the Site Configuration menu... Am I doing something wrong? Sorry for not being that advanced :-(, but thanks for all the help!

Not all modules place items at site configuration. Every module is different. To see what urls a module provides, visit admin/by-module (if the module's not listed that means it doesn't create any url).

If you really want to double check, browse the module's .module file looking for a url-- even if you nothing about code spotting a url is pretty easy.
