Hi @croo_shop

Can you please check that .htaccess file is there in root folder of your magento  2 ?

if not , then download magento 2 .htaccess file or create a file and add below content in the same !

##- now I'm face a new error..
There has been an error processing your request
Exception printing Is disabled by default for security reasons.
Error log record number 970781233610

Hi @croo_shop

Yes , Now your admin panel works perfectly !

"There has been an error processing your request" - this error mainly shows because you are in default mode of magento !

So you need to go to var directory and then go to log directory over there you find exception.log file  - open it and post the error which is there in this file !

Then its help me to trouble shoot the issue !

[croo_shop]

##- there is no exception.log file.
There is three files names are
Connector.log
Debug.log
Install.log

[Manthan Dave]

Hi @croo_shop

Yes , you are correct - i think you have just installed  vanila fresh magento version !

Do one thing , open your SSH command line terminal and run below commands in sequence: 

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

Then check it will works !

[croo_shop]

##- I'm unable to find ssh command line terminal can you tell me how find it

[Manthan Dave]

Hi @croo_shop

Are you working on any server ? or on your local system ?

If you are working on local system , then you need to open CMD command line terminal from your system !

then you need to go to your magento 2 root directory !

For more details refer this link - https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/basics/basics_login.html

from there you need to run commands , which i mention above thread !

[croo_shop]

##- I was installed magento from godaddy cpanel

[Manthan Dave]

Hi @croo_shop

ok - i understand your concern , but you need to ask godaddy support for the SSH terminal !

Ask them how to access SSH terminal from godaddy cpanel also tell them that you wanted to run commands from the same !

so they will setup this for you and from there you can run this commands !

Hope it helps !
