Hi,
Ive tried installing a brand new 2.1 site on a couple of occasions and I cannot get the admin page to load. It is totally blank, not even an error message.
The front end opens OK.
Here’s a snapshot of error log after my last access attempt
Does anyone have any ideas?

I forgot I had the same issues on my last install. For some reason the installation doesn’t like to have any template selected APART from Basic.
I reinstalled yet again, but chose Basic as my site template.
I installed and admin now loads!!
Once admin is loaded I can now select another theme.
Is there something wrong with installation that doesn’t allow you to select any other theme apart from Basic?
This is because there is only one skin for the Admin side which is the basic skin.
This is totally correct. We had to select the basic skin, then upgrade, then select the skin we wanted. We overwrote the CSS and images with our own and we were back in business.
I have a different issue, when upgrading to 2.1 some how all the admin permissions where altered which prevented access to the admin area giving the same “blank” page - however i also re-installed the skin so this could be the best solution i think to resolve this if anyone else gets this problem.
