New drupal administrator - can't find Site Building -> Modules
I have just moved and taken over the administration of a Drupal (6.16) web site. It's all working OK but, among other things, there are a number of modules clamouring for security updates. I've read around the documentation and I think I can see the basics of how to do it (I have shell access to the hosting site which makes things relatively easy). However there is one rather fundamental problem (or at least that's the way it looks to me at the moment), there is no Administer -> Site Building -> Modules page. I have the other Administer -> Site Building pages, it's just the Modules one that is missing. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this please. -- Chris Green

are you logged in as User 1 (the site administrator's account). If you are logged in with any other User ID it's possible your permissions are preventing you from seeing that page? As an experiment, try going to http://www.example.com//#overlay=admin/modules (for Drupal 7) or http://ade.pt/admin/build/modules (for Drupal 6 ... probably the same for Drupal 5). What do you see? kazar

um, that 2nd example was supposed to be: http://www.example.com/admin/build/modules (for Drupal 6) I had forgotten to replace the "ade.pt" of my own domain with "www.example.com" (which of course you'll replace with your domain)

Yes, OK, I realised that. -- Chris Green

I was logged in as myself (who should have administration rights), I just tried the first account 'admin' and got to see a different set of pages under Administer -> Site Building, but still no modules.
As an experiment, try going to http://www.example.com//#overlay=admin/modules (for Drupal 7) or http://ade.pt/admin/build/modules (for Drupal 6 ... probably the same for Drupal 5). What do you see?
Yes, that takes me to the Modules page, thank you! -- Chris Green
Try logging in as user id #1. Then you will see it. Fred On Sun, Jul 10, 2011 at 7:08 PM, Chris G <cl@isbd.net> wrote:
