When I am logged as an administrator and try to access Content from the administrator menu, the corresponding window pops up, with the add content link, but just below, I get the following error message:

The requested page "/mywebsite/?q=admin%2Fcontent%2Fnode&render=overlay" could not be found.

although content already exists. What is causing this and how can I get rid of it? I am on Drupal 7 release 12. Thanks.

Update

If anyone has ideas, tips, suggestions about what is causing (or could cause) this issue, it is welcome. Could I have modified the config by accident (if yes, which)? Is there a tool (other than FireBug) to debug this issue? I plan to re-install a system from scratch and check whether the error happens too. Thanks.

Update II

Here is what I get when requesting Content from the Administrator menu:

When I click on Amdinistration, I get the following:

First, I notice something strange: an empty entry in the provided list. Why? I don't know.

Second, when I click on Content from this page, I am not facing the issue I reported above. I noticed a difference in the URLs between both methods:

http://www.mysite.com/#overlay=%3Fq%3Dadmin%252Fcontent%252Fnode <- NOT OK
http://www.mysite.com/#overlay=%3Fq%3Dadmin%252Fcontent <- OK

The url you have posted translates to

admin/content/node?render=overlay

This is how the overlay works, which displays a regular page, but adds a param to tell drupal it should be rendered as the overlay (no header, footer etc is rendered).

The problem could be that overlay is disabled, or that the url isn't encoded as it should.

If you use clean urls, you shouldn't see the ?q=...

  • I have actually disactivated the overlay, but the issue remains. I have also re-activated it, but the issue remains too.

  • @JVerstry have you cleared cache when doing so?

  • I don't recall requesting or configuring '?q=' on my urls. I believe a module has set this itself. Is there a way to disable this? REM: a direct request to mysite.com/admin/content/node (with or without ?render=overlay) gives a 404...

  • I tried the disactivation/activation cycle again, with clearing cache, but it did not solve the issue. However, I have found an issue with the URL. I'll explain in the question.

  • I found about Clean URLs and ran the test, but it fails.

After performing some tests on a new installation, all seems to indicate that my site was installed in a corrupted directory. I had used an installation script delivered by my Internet host, but the install directory was most probably not cleared properly. So my bad on this one.

Update

After all, this is a bug I can replicate from a clean system. I opened an issue.

The bug disappears when disabling Administration views and clearing cache.
