Quoting J C <jnc3105@gmail.com>:

Curious to understand what might be intercepting the Drupal URL such that it
will not accept the /admin or /user URL and instead complains that Page not
found while within Drupal. Also, that where I expect to see "?q" I instead
see "?e"

Don't know about the ?e unless some character translation in your browser client. This Page not found error can happen for reasons beyond Drupal's control such as a malformed settings.php file or a contrib module.

What version of Drupal?

I presume this is from a Drupal module for redirection. Unfortunately I am
helping a group reclaim their website that someone else built for them for
which they are not familiar with the modules in use and at this time and the
old group is not around anymore. In essence, they cannot access the Admin
page. I was able to force the proper Admin pswd and Role priveleges for
them at the database level for their userid though.

Firstly, clear the cache and sessions tables as well as the browser cookies. You may want to even try with a different browser brand.

Secondly, you might want to deactivate the optional contrib modules. You may even need to Uninstall them. Backup your DB first. If deactivating a module resolves the issue then open an issue for the module at http://drupal.org/project/issues. Else it is time for more debugging.

The specific scenario is:
1) Go to a URL domain/edits <= not sure what this is but it brings up the
Login Block in the center of the page
2) See the Login Block in the middle of the page and enter your userid and
pswd and hit submit
3) Be redirected to an error page

Other scenario
1) Use the domain/admin or domain/user/1
2) Receive page not found while withing Drupal

These scenarios are within Drupal's control throughout though. Not sure
what is missing, thanks.

If you need more help feel free to ask.
