I love Drupal, but I bumped into a frightening possibility just now. I ran the clean URL-test succesfully and therefore decided to turn clean URL's on. However even though my site is not even offline I cannot log in anymore. The reason for this is that www.example.com/user refers to a page where I can change some settings in my hosting environment.

So I thought going to: www.example.com/?q=user would solve the problem, but it doesn't, because as soon as I hit login I am forwarded to this page from my host. I checked whether I was logged in anyway, but I wasn't. So I think that as a safety measure www.example.com/?q=user should bring one to www.example.com/?q=user/# (# being the number of the user).

I don't know if that would solve things, because I am not a whizkid regarding hosting (or a lot of other website related things)

I guess for now I have to turn of clean URL's with PHPmyAdmin or something similar. If anyone can give me a hint I would be indebted.

Was able to turn off clean URL's with the info at node 82455.

However I'd still like it if perhaps the clean URL test could check for a problem such as this or if Drupal could bypass it somehow.
