Some info for anyone trying to install Drupal. This is a solution I came across and thought it may help someone in the future.
Basically, the problem is that both ensim and drupal use the address:
www.mywebsite.com/admin
What happens is that when one installs drupal, and then clicks on the admin link on the drupal screen, it goes to the ensim sign in page not the drupal admin area.
The best way round this is to bypass the drupal admin screen and activate the path module. Then create a url alias within drupal to change /admin to something else such as /drupaladmin
Then when you are within your drupal site, the main drupal admin page will be
www.mywebsite.com/drupaladmin
Here are a few more details on how to do this in Drupal version 6.8 (newer versions may have slightly different folder names):
There's no need to modify your common.inc or .htaccess to fix this problem. Simply do the following:
1. First you need to have the Path Module enabled on your Drupal installation.
You can access your module administration by typing in this address:
http://www.mywebsite.com/admin/build/modules
and then enabling the Path Module (if you've already enabled the Path Module skip to next step)
2. Go to
http://www.mywebsite.com/admin/build/path and add these url aliases:
1. Existing System Path: admin New Path Alias: drupaladmin
also recommended is changing /user to /usr
2. Existing System Path: user New Path Alias: usr
3. That's it, your menu should work without any problems now
And although the rest of your administration links will still have the admin/ path they will all still work perfectly.
These new url aliases just work when you are within drupal on your site. The original path names are not affected and still take you to the ensim login screens.
I hope this helps anyone installing drupal.
