Hello, I am a Drupal newbie and just finished my first install. When i go to base URL and login, I can login and administer and set and save all the options.

The problem is the User Modules aren't working. I have checked off every single module (there are about 30-40 of them) but when I go into User Permissions, I only have 6 options:

access administration pages
administer site configuration
administer users
administer watchdog
bypass input data check
create php content

What happens, is when I go to the base URL, I can login with no modules, edit my account.. that's all. If I login as the admin, I can change all sorts of settings, but the user can't do anything.. there are no modules and no way to associate the permissions with the user! Help!

I checked in the modules directory, and it appears that they are all there. I can't think of what else it could be. I'm using the latest 4.2.0 tgz and am using Debian Linux.

Thank you for any help!

Apparantly, Drupal is not seeing either the modules or themes directory! When I edited the file includes/module.php and near lines 50-60 commented out the file_exists() and close bracket so that it doesn't check for the files to exist, now all the modules show up, BUT--

I still cannot get themes or modules directory to be recognized by drupal. I've switched to several themes, and that also seems to be behind the modules problem. It can load the modules fine, but it fails to load themes and fails to load the modules in the admin view or user view unless i remove that check.

What's wrong?! help! :)
