Hey everyone,
I just encountered a problem with a remote drupal installation that i am working
on and i can't seem to figure a way out.
First of all once logged in, the drupal does not show/display the administer block.
hence i can't click to create any content and as a result i have to know some
kind of address bar description to the create content page.
On a most recent occasion, i managed to modify an existing page. It turned out i could view the page after
saving it and while still logged in. On a following day when i tried to view it as an anonymous user , it had
nothing to display except the page title.
I at present do not have rights to the server where the drupal is installed.
I cannot SSH into it.
I have about seven pages of content to create on it and i haven't gone far
I have implemented them on my local drupal as a test only.
Pls solutions are needed and most welcome. Thanks.

Some ways to get more info
Hi
Can you reach the status page (/admin/reports/status) and error log (/admin/reports/dblog)?
If so, can you find anything there like error messages, warnings, etc that might shed some light?
When you say you're logged in to the site but can't access the admin menu:
- are you logged in as user/1?
- if logged in with user other than user/1, does your account have sufficient permissions?
What version of Drupal are you running?
Even though you don't have access to the server, can you ask the sysadmin to give you a copy of the apache error log for the last few days?
Joeri.
Possible solution
Hello bidemi,
Issue: Drupal doesn't show the administer block
Solution: Check to know if you are the root user(user/1) of the drupal installation. If not, tell the sysadmin to install the admin role module and assign you to the administrator role. This will allow you to act as a root or super user of your drupal installation.
Issue: On a following day when i tried to view it as an anonymous user , it had nothing to display except the page title.
Solution: Obviously, you need to set permissions for anonymous user at admin/user/permissions.
I hope this helps.
