Does anyone know why my admin panel looks like this the attached after a clean install?? I'm unable to click anything in the pages too.
My store looks mostly fine (apart from a slightly large search box).
Version is 2.0.0.b3
Thanks in advance!!!

Appears to be missing or not loading your styleesheet. Check the styleesheets are in tact and in the correct folders.

Hi SXGuy,
Thanks for your response. I've double checked and the stylesheet.css is in the following folder
admin/view/stylesheet/
Which I presume is right? Sorry I'm a bit of a self taught newbie

Do you have any css minifying mods installed? I've found they interfere with some stylesheets preventing them from loading.

No it's a completely fresh install, well reinstall. I completely removed the database and all site files though. Could that have something to do with it maybe?

FIXED IT!!! No idea why this worked but it did.
Went into config.php and changed the database driver from mysqli to mysql
Uploaded it and got an error
Went back and changed it to mysqli
uploaded it and hey presto a perfect looking admin panel!!!

Hey guys
I am getting a similar issue,
The side nav bar shows, I can see the Dashboard but the Tabs are not showing and the Alerts is just displaying a list in the back similar to his screenshot,
I tried the fix mentioned here but never work
I meet all the requirements, and it is a clean install did it twice now, so not to sure checked the stylesheet and that is in the right location

What browser are you using, I get this with Firefox quite often and have to clear the browser cache.

Tried this as well, still the same. Front end works 100% it just the admin backend :/
Also I installed OC 1.5 and that worked perfectly.
My installation is on a Windows Server 2012 and use PLESK 12 as an interface for me. I installed OC 1.5 via the PLESK and normal upload to test.
However when I do an upgrade I get server 500 error. so yeah I went back to reupload OC 2 using the normal method and bang wierd admin. I doubt it the settings on my server as all is enabled

Looks like it is missing the .css.
Could it be corrupt or a rights issue?

well upon installation, i followed the instructions and made those specific directory's / files writable, am I supposed to make them modifiable as well?
I am actually not to sure the css file is there, it is showing some of the images, but it just the menu on the top is not not neatly positioned exactly like the screenshot the other guy made above

It is .css related.
The files your are looking for are located in your \admin and admin-sub folders.

Hi thanks, i went to css file but what must I look out for?
It all seems fine to me, must I attach it on here for you to check? But then what I do not understand is i did not even touch it. This is straight from the zip file downloaded from here.
oh and thanks for taking the time to help me

The .css file cannot be found by the OpenCart Admin part.
That is why you see what you see.
Check if it has the correct rights, I'm not sure how it should be setup on a Windows host.

I have the same problem. The chrome dev console says bootstrap.less is missing, but it is there. I've tried messing with the permissions, but not tried re-uploading just that file. I'll try it later and post here with the outcome.

Removed and re-uploaded most of the files in the admin folder and still not displaying the admin page properly. I'm using Plesk as well so maybe it's an issue with that somehow? Continuing to investigate.

Fixed. I had to add the MIME type .less text/less to the Plesk control panel. To do this, navigate to Virtual Directory, then the Mime Types tab. Click add mime type then add the type.
