Can anyone guide me on this please?

• KAndy: Can you cleanup browser cache and try again?
• Asish Hira: check your folder and file permission! and start deploying your files
• NS123: I cleanup browser cache still same problem
• NS123: my folder permission are 755 and file 644

Answer 1

Go to your magento root /app/etc/di.xml line number 574 approximately and change the code

 <item name="view_preprocessed" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink</item>

To

<item name="view_preprocessed" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy</item>

Remove cache , try it again.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Run the following in the command prompt:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

It will load necessary css and images. Then try logging into admin. It works.

Hope this helps

• NS123: Hi, i am using live server
• Srinivas Veerni: I think you can run it in live server if you have the access. It will not create any impact on magento installation. If you don't have the access you can ask your network or system administrator to run the command.
• Srinivas Veerni: To run the above command you need to have shell access. Goto Magento installation directory (say /var/www/html/magento , for example), then run the command. <magento-installation-dir>~ php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
• NS123: same steps for cpanel ?
• Srinivas Veerni: Yes. But you need shell access to it
