After installing the cart and attempting to load the admin.php page all I get is a blank screen.
I have reinstalled 3 times and each time all I get is blank screen when I attempt to load the admin section.
Front end of the site works fine.
Any ideas?
What does your site error_log say? Normally it’s in the home directory of your site user in the ‘logs’ directory.
There is no such “log” file or directory for me to check.
Alsos, ther is no such file on another CS cart site that I have installed which works fine.
Check your config.local.php paths for errors or an additional / where there should be none.
the file admin.php is being loaded.
If I put an echo statement at top of file, I get the echo to display which proves admin.php is being accessed. Then I get the following display
“If the page does not redirect automatically in 10 seconds, please click on this link: Continue”
If I click continue a blank screen again
Ive even reinstalled for a 4th time but still no admin page!!
If it’s any help; I enter
[url]http://gdscot.co.uk/admin.php[/url] which then changes to:
[url]http://gdscot.co.uk/admin.php?dispatch=auth.login_form&return_url=admin.php[/url]
Post your config.local.php file. Just your paths.
Again, I would check your error_log. This is a log file generated by PHP, not by the cart. It is usually in the location I described above. If not, contact your hosting provider to find out the location. My bet is that you are getting a fatal php error of some sort. Hence the blank screen.

I managed to find the log file. I can see ther are errors in the scripts but Ive no idea why they are generated.
Any ideas?

you are missing /skins/basic/admin/
most likely that you’ve got incorrect file permissions set.
Not sure what you edited out of the config.local.php file you supplied but you have no database access defined, and no http_host.
// Host and directory where software is installed on no-secure server
$config['http_host'] = '[COLOR="Blue"]gdscot.co.uk[/COLOR]';
$config['http_path'] = '';
// Host and directory where software is installed on secure server
$config['https_host'] = '[COLOR="Blue"]gdscot.co.uk[/COLOR]';
$config['https_path'] = '';
If you are using www.gdscot.co.uk then add the www.
I am assuming you edited out the DB details.?
Hi,
I reinstalled again.
This time however, I chose the Basic Template and NOT another option.
It installed and admin now loads!!
Once admin is loaded I can now slecet another theme
