migration Magento 2 to localhost with xampp Admin stuck to login box without fields

Question

i have a magento 2.0.4 website working on a server. As I want to upgrade it to 2.1.0, I did a backup and installed it on my local server W10 with xampp & composer, localhost (127.0.0.1).

I did clean the cache and removed everything, except .htaccess file from pub/static folder, run the command on Magento root :

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

I opened up app/etc/di.xml find the path Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink and replaced to Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy

the website frontend is good but not the admin backend, it shows just white box in admin and no fields to login in to admin as well. There's no error in the console dev.

I checked as well, my account is not locked.

I did try to install a new fresh magento2 version with xampp and it's working... But not my website version.

Do you have any idea how to make the admin work again?

• Aman Alam: Try to remove all content in var/cache, var/page_cache, var/generation, pub/static folders. After that run admin url in private browser and check it.
• Gediminas: Did you figured out something?

• Fabrice: Thanks for your feedback, I followed your steps but it still the same
• Aman Alam: Ok after making this change try php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy from command line.
• Fabrice: It doesn't change, I still have login box without fields
• Aman Alam: After upgrade have you run php bin/magento setup:upgrade
• Fabrice: I didn't do the upgrade yet, I want to transfer it on my local server (xampp) to do the upgrade after but I'm stuck with the admin login without fields
