Answer 1

Go to root of your magento 2 installation and run below commands step by step. Delete all folders under pub/static but keep .htaccess file.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:flush
chmod -R 777 var pub

Thanks

Answer 2

once changed

Delete all folders under pub/static
Delete var/cache
Delete var/composer_home
Delete var/generation
Delete var/page_cache
Delete var/view_preprocessed

Run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

and it will work.

Ensure that permissions for files folders are setup properly: (More information can be found at http://devdocs.magento.com/)

cd $MAGENTO_HOME/ 

/* Setup File Owner Groups */
chown -R :<web server group> .
chmod u+x bin/magento

/* Setup Permission for files to 644 */
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;                        

/* Setup Permission for directories to 755 */
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;                        

/* Setup Permission for var folder to 777 */
find ./var -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;                

/* Setup Permission for Media Content to 777 */
find ./pub/media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ./pub/static -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

/* Setup Permissions for Config Files and Folders */
chmod 777 ./app/etc
chmod 644 ./app/etc/*.xml

Clear temp/cached files:

rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/pub/static/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/generated/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/composer_home/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/view_preprocessed/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/generation/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/di/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/tmp/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/cache/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/page_cache/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/var/session/*

Setup your local instance to run on Developer mode:

$MAGENTO_HOME/bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

(Optional) Clear logs files

Note: This will make it easier for you locate and identify the log file with the stack trace, if/when there is an application error per se.

rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/pub/log/*
rm -rfv $MAGENTO_HOME/pub/report/*

Clear your browser(s) cache.

Once the above-mentioned steps are completed, attempt to access your Admin console again.

If the issue still persists, open your Browser's Console (e.g: On FireFox: Right Click -> Inspect Element -> Console Tab) and check if there are any errors listed on there. (If yes - please send me a screenshot of the error)

Go to root of your magento 2 installation and follow below step.
Delete all folders under pub/static but keep .htaccess file,and run below commands

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php bin/magento cache:flush

chmod -R 777 var pub

Before doing above go to app/etc/di.xml

find the line

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink and Replace it with

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\copy
