    Default New Install: Disappearing Admin Panel

    This is my second question/post, hoping that this is a learning curve bump. I've successfully installed this three times, but each time the admin panel disappears. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Browsers tested in: IE8, FF3.6.1

    Steps to repeat:
    1. Install files to server
    2. Delete install files & change permissions on the includes/config file per instructions
    3. Logon to the admin panel
    4. View the shop
    5. Logoff the admin panel
    6. Attempt to logon again - this is when it disappears.

    At that point the admin login page will show up only sporadically when the browser address is entered manually: www.yoursite.com/shop/admin

    Even when it does show up attempting to logon takes you to a blank white page. I grabbed the source code and pasted it below. What's baffling is that it is just a group of style elements and has nothing that looks like it controls anything... And the thing is that the admin page does work at initial install.

    Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. So many developers I know swear by this cart. I've used many others but the features this one offers are fantastic so I'm hoping to keep using it. Thanks!!!

    Just in case you aren't any further forward, see the wiki documentation.
    With no information on your environment, it's difficult to diagnose.

    Hi & thanks for the responses. The link is Sonic Homework :. I did some testing and it looks like the error happens when I add Google Payment mod. So I left it out for the time being and things went much smoother. I love that design for OcsMax is done with just a few pages!

    There is a different issue I came into but will add it as a new post so the topic is appropriate.
