WordPress 3.3.1.
MAC OSX 10.6.8
MAMP
PHP Version 5.2.6
My local install is a mirror of a live site. The live site is up and running ok.
Last night I downloaded all the files and the db to work on the site locally.
I've updated wp_options with the local url in siteurl and home in sql.
The site loads, and I can navigate around site as usual.
I can login at mysite.local/wp-login.php
But once logged in and the redirect tries to go to mysite.local/wp-admin
nothing shows up. (looking at source there is no html).
The directory structure is fine and all the files are where they're meant to be.
When I return to the home page, the admin bar is shown at the top, showing that I am actually logged in. However if I use the drop down and try to go to the dashboard, same problem, redirect to: mysite.local/wp-admin is completely blank
