Common Issues

Admin pages return errors or don't work correctly after installation / upgrade​

Explanation: This is usually caused by Magento stored cache or Compilation mode enabled.

Solution:

  1. Go to file includes/config.php

  2. Comment line

define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');
  1. If you still get error, rename file app/etc/local.xml and re-install Magento. It will NOT erase your site data but it may solve your problem

note

In this case WYSIWYG editor should be hidden or turned off
