 * The index.php page on my admin home page simply does not load.
 * Every other page in the admin area loads fine, but the index.php page (“Dashboard”
   in the admin control panel) will not.
 * What’s up? Thanks.

 * That should no happen all by itself. The index.php file was probably corrupted
   at some point. Have you tried re-installing your index.php file? And when you
   say it does not load, do you mean that you just get a blank white page or what?

 * I’ve re-downloaded and re-uploaded the files at least twice. I’m not sure what
   the problem is. I’m also running the latest version.
 * I mean that when I try to access the page in Firefox, I don’t receive any errors;
   the page simply does not load. I don’t receive a “page cannot be found” or “connection
   timed out” error either.
 * Is it possible my config file is misconfigured? Could that cause a problem? I’ve
   checked it and it seems to be correct, though.

 * Any help out there? I’ve tried reuploading and redownloading the index.php file
   and it’s still not working.

 * When you say not loading… what do you see?
    It happens to me that after displaying
   the top menu items the rest is just blank, and blank, and blank 🙂 very slow 
   because of the feeds. I usually don’t wait for it, just click where I want to
   go.

 * I am having problems similar to moshu’s.
 * Any ideas anymore?

 * There are some “simplified” dashbord templates out there – made by other impatient
   users 🙂
    If you search for it you’ll probably find them.

 * For a “simplified dashbord template”, try this:

 * In my case it turned out to be a technical problem with PHP at my hosting company.
   There is a bug in fopen that they are trying to fix–that’s what I was told.
