Admin Login issues
Hi all,
I am experiencing some issues with a website I help maintain for a local non-profit based on version 5.7. When I try to login, not only can I not edit a page but I can't access Admin pages. After entering username/pw, from I get kicked back to the whatever page I was on, but still in non-edit and non-admin view. I am getting a url parameter that I have never seen before: http://www.sitename.org/?destination=admin
Any thoughts about why I would be getting this?
Thanks!

url parameter
That is the parameter indicating where to redirect you upon login if I remember correctly. After logging in, are you able to access the site through http://www.sitename.org/?q=admin

admin URL
I'm not sure what the problem is, but try logging in from this url: http://www.sitename.org/index.php?q=user
RE: admin URL
sweet - that got me logged in. (forgot about that one)
Logging In
If you're seeing unexpected things, you might want to verify that you don't have CleanURLs enabled (http://sitename/admin/settings/clean-urls) but Apache (or IIS, if you're running that) not expecting it. You actually need to make a change to Apache (either in the main configuration or in your local .htaccess file). I don't know about IIS, but you can probably google it up pretty quickly. I know until I get it solved I have to use the "?q=" stuff to get to pages correctly.

mod_rewrite
I've seen this problem after adding a rewrite rule that overrode the main index.php?=(.*) rule. You might check your .htaccess or overwrite it with the default .htaccess and be sure to backup anything important. That could be your problem, but I may be totally wrong.
It could be another module
It could be another module doing an unexpected redirect also... you might check your Apache access_log for any unexpected messages.
