   I'm trying to access the admin dashboard through Firefox. When I enter the address https://cxdblog.mot.com/currentfix/wp-admin,
   I get redirected to address
   https://cxdblog.mot.com/currentfix/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fcxdblog.mot.com%2Fcurrentfix%2Fwp-admin%2F and instead of a log-in page, the screen is blank.

   I've tried opening the admin dashboard through Windows Explorer. In that case, I get an HTTP 500 server error.

   Any thoughts on what could be the cause? This problem seem to have started after I upgraded PHP and Apache on server hosting the blog.

   the redirect is normal
   500 errors are usually .htaccess problems
   delete your wordpress .htaccess and test site
   if now works, reset your permalinks
   dashboard - settings - permalinks

   Hi Samuel. Thanks for the quick response. I didn't expect a quick turn around on my question.

   I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. I'm still getting a blank screen with this weird URL - https://cxdblog.mot.com/currentfix/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fcxdblog.mot.com%2Fcurrentfix%2Fwp-admin%2F when I try to get to the admin dashboard by using address - https://cxdblog.mot.com/currentfix/wp-admin

   Any other thoughts/suggestions?

   I can't even find a server at that url!

   It's behind a firewall

   Would the Apache and PHP updates I recently performed affected opening the admin dashboard?
