I've installed drupal, replaced the front page, and removed the login box. I can log in as admin at example.com/user/admin
But I never see the overall admin page, with the menu options down the side for the different parts I can admin. I need to specify them manually on the URL like example.com/admin/settings example.com/admin/modules etc
How do I get back up one level, to see the overall admin list page? example.com/admin doesn't do it.
Thanks
You've probably either disabled the Navigation block or the admin menu item in admin/menu (or both).
If you want just the admin menu available when only the administrator is logged in, try creating a new menu, making the administer menu part of the new menu and disabling it (or checking the expanded box). Go to admin/block and enable your new menu block. Lastly, configure the block by setting the Page specific visibility settings to the PHP option (#3) and put the following in the box underneath: <?php global $user; return $user->uid == 1 ? TRUE : FALSE; ?>
Than you'll have a new block that will only show for your administrative user that will look something like this:
