Hello all.

I have built a site locally, moved the database to the web server from the sandbox, FTP’d the files up and changed the Settings.php file to connect to the DB – so far so good.

Now when I have come to log in as the admin something is not right…

‘/user/login’ returns a 404 –but- ‘/?q=user’ works…. But then when I am logged in as Admin everything else is a 404!

How do I get to the admin section to activate all the modules and get the site live?

Many thanks

You server might not be capable of clean urls. If you used somehting like XAMPP clean url's are automatically enabled, but your live host might not be capable of this.

Read around in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/82455

and try accessing all link with ?q=

In the end it was a server issue - the default settings had issues with Mod-rewrite functionality - or so they tell me?!?
