Hi there I am fairly new to Drupal, so please forgive me! I have just completed a fresh install for D6 and the content pages show fine. However, when I click Administer, after a long while I just get a blank screen. So I cannot access any of the admin functions such as modules etc. Have checked permissions on the Site and all are set to 755 Please can anyone help Thanks
