[SOLVED] Admin blank page, frontpage works fine

[letrof]

I have installed prestashop, and followed the instruction carefully - deleted the install and readme files and renamed the admin directory.

But when I try to login I just get a blank page. Admin page appears for just about 0,5 sec (I've captured it with the prtsc - see attachede file) and then goes blank. I've turned the error messages on but there is no error. Frontpage works just fine. I've searched the forum but no one had really same issue as I do.
I've tried other computer and other browsers with the same result -> 0,5 sec of admin page and then pure white...

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

I have similar but worse problem. I cant even see the admin page. Its completely blank.
I have installed prestashop several time before without any problem in this shared server.
But I am having problem with this 1.4 version only.

The only thing "better" is that I can see my admin page for 0,5 sec? Seriously? What a relief:)
Can anyone help me please?

I had a similar problem using Mamp. My admin page was a blank page. By simply restarting Mamp, the problem was solved.
I heard about a similar problem with a friend of mine who could not log because he renamed the admin folder from "Admin" into "Admin_R&R;". By using the "&" symbol it created a problem. Maybe try to rename the admin folder into a more simple name ? Like Admin111 ?

Same problem here, front end works fine, backoffice shows blank page only (after short time loading).

I'm using a WAMP machine as test server .
With 1.2.5 to 1.3.7 I had no problems at all using this wamp machine, then I upgraded the 1.3.7 to 1.4.0.17.

Any suggestion ?

The Log shows this:

127.0.0.1 - - [16/Apr/2011:16:35:53 +0200] "GET /admin HTTP/1.1" 301 234

(last request is from calling the admin/login page directly in the browser)

it seems that is not stable and will never be. i have the same problem.

I solved that problem commenting the lines where it looks for cookie for automatic login
Then i logged anew and NeXT Times i had no problems

texscalper, How did you do that?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you BigCactus,

All i had to do is restart MAMP.

 

I was on a fresh install on MAMP.
