I set the correct permissions but nothing will work in the backend...

I'am very in a fix :/...

I too faced the same problem..
below solution worked for me
just try it.
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

There is no need to remove any file in any directory.
Hope this will help...

hello guys,

I've had the same issue having the magento dashboard not responding , so i made some edits , and now it's working fine !

go to C:/xampp/htdocs/"magento folder"/app/etc

then go to di.xml and edit it

press ctrl+F and type "Symlink" then replace it by "Copy"
(make sure C is capital)

Save and exit

refresh your dashboard page

and voilaaa !!

I installed 2.1.3 and am having the same issue even after replacing Symlink with Copy.  Any ideas?
