I installed Drupal 6.13 using Fantastico on our web server. We have not transferred our domain name yet to our web host so our domain name is currently http://server.webhost.com/~myusername/ . I installed Drupal in a subdirectory to http://server.webhost.com/~myusername/drupal/ and change $base_url in sites/default/settings.php to "http://server.webhost.com/~mysername/drupal" .

If I enter "http://server.webhost.com/~myservername/drupal" in a web browser, I get the standard " Welcome to your new Drupal website! " screen. However, when I try to log in or click on the "administration section" link, I receive a 404 error.

Any suggestion on what I should do? TIA.

have you changed the admin directory name?

No, but I'm not seeing an admin directory in my installation. Based on your question, I am assuming that the admin directory is not a virtual directory as I assumed but should be part of the installation?

there is no admin folder to be re-named, and i have the same problem, after installing 6.13, admin user node
pages does not show up, i always get page not found 404 error.

i tried the rename the url from tha adress bar ..../admin/... with /?q=admin/ it works but cannot enable the other modules since confirm page does not exist (or the adress has changed ) too :)

my site is in a deep trouble.. could you solve that?

or anyone out there?

Hello,
I had the same issue with Fantastico. I believe while Fantastico is doing the Drupal install even if the clean url's are disabled it is trying to install the Drupal as if the "clean url's were enabled" My solutions was to do a manual install. And everything works fine now.
