joomla admin backend not showing up

Question

joomla 1.6 ....when I login to administrator nothing shows up. this happened a few months back, cannot remember how it was fixed. Not sure what causes it, or how to fix.

Answer 1

Usually this is a problem with Joomla session management and a common php issue.

You need to first find the error, then fix it.

To identify the error try in configuration.php:

public $debug = '1';

And add/or this to .htaccess

php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting 2048

Once you determine the error, post or Google.
