I have been trying to find a solution to this error for nearly 2 hours now in vain.

I recently downloaded Magento 2 and set it up in my localhost windows.

When I go to my admin page, the sign in panel which is supposed to display (from tutorials I've watched) isn't displaying, instead I'm only getting this plain color background.

the default store front (localhost/magento/) shows up with the basic header and footer with the message "CMS homepage content goes here."

Has anyone had the same issue/is familiar with this issue? If so, help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Tim

  • I tried the code provided above and got: "There has been an error processing your request Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons." I then tried the code provided in the github link: replacing: (:138) --> $realPath = $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path); with --> $realPath = str_replace('\', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path)); which turned out to work! Thank you both for your help, I really appriciate it! NOTE: I tried combining both to see what would happen and it gave me the first error message.

    EDIT: I made a typo in the code that solved the issue: instead of --> "$realPath = str_replace('\', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path)); it's --> "$realPath = str_replace('\\', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));"
