Hi, I've been having difficulty with this website restoring it to another server. I cannot get the admin page to show. The admin page is just blank. Is there a separate error log for the admin page? The url for it is https://www.petermatratestsite.com/ecin_admin
I left all 3rd party modules running so not to interrupt what might be necessary for the back end to run. I tried originally disabling about 15 3rd party modules and it didn't help. So I re-enabled them, reinstalled, compiled, etc.
I had to turn off the cache as it was causing difficulties. This site is running on php 7.1 and is Magento version 2.2.3. I'm trying to avoid an upgrade at this moment and I just need to get the site working for my clients.
Thanks
Pete
