I set up drupal back in the fall for teachers to use for blogging. However, we had no takers and I went on to other projects. Now someone wants to use it, but drupal no longer takes their login. It says the user/login directory doesn't exist. I'm sure it's something obvious. Any suggestions?

URL is http://cougar.e-lcds.org/education/.

TIA,
Bob

Try turning off clean URLs. It seems that you don't have mod rewrite set up properly (it should rewrite user/login to index.php?q=user/login ithout anyone noticing).

I'm sure I did that when I installed it 7 months ago. Now I've forgotten how to do it (and I did search here). Could I trouble you to point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Bob

It worked!!!

Thanks for all the help. I did both things you suggested -- changing the conf.php file and also running that command on the database. I then reset the server and all is well.

I still don't know why it stopped working in the first place, since I didn't change anything in either the config file or the db. I have installed many other apps in the meantime and haven't played much with drupal in the last several months.

Thanks again from a noob,
Bob
