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: Administration access control aggregator blocks categories comments contact form content input formats logs menus modules settings themes url aliases users help -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
