Hi,

I'm new on this forum, and to drupal too for that matter, so ofcourse, the first issue is encountered :-)

I installed drupel, and the dutch translation without any issues,

I have created my adminuser and installed an extra template.

When i log in, and try to click on "beheren" which is the translation for administer probably, i go to the adminpage of my hostingcompany.
Probably i have to adapt something, so i get on the drupalconfig, but don't know where to go looking.

Many thanks in advance for helping me out here.

Look in your directory for two files: settings.php and .htaccess

In settings.php there is a setting for a base URL. And in .htaccess there is a Rewritebase functionality.

See if adjusting one or both of those settings makes a difference.

Look in your sites/default folder for settings.php; in that file you will see a line that looks like this:


*/
# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com';  // NO trailing slash!
/**

Remove the # sign and insert your base url. Save and see if that makes a difference.

Ok, now please look in your .htaccess file in the root directory. You will see this:

 # If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
	  # uncomment the following line:
	  # RewriteBase /

Remove the # before "rewritebase," enter a value after the /, and save. Hopefully this will work.

Another thought: do you have an index.html file anywhere in your root directory (the same directory where you will find the drupal index.php file)? If so please delete the html file.

Got it solved by having the hoster change his adminpage,..
