I am trying to install Umbraco 7.5.3 on an empty project but the back office has no items in the menus. It doesn't also load anything in the content tree.

enter image description here I tried to do a clean installation based on this article but it was the same. I went with a clean web application, I even select .net 4.5.1 in a try, and in the wizard part, I went with custom installation and in DB part I've entered the SA account.

    If you open the site in Chrome and fire up the inspector, do you see any javascript errors? It's possible something is going wrong loading the UI. – Tim Sep 21 '16 at 12:12
  • What @Tim said - this could give you an indication what is wrong. I suspect that perhaps some settings in IIS are not "correct" so that could be blocking the menu items from showing. – Marko Jovanov Sep 23 '16 at 08:53

Ok, I made it work. It sounds a bit strange, but it worked! I don't know why it wasn't on the how to page. and I still don't know what could be wrong :|

I had to set up the site on IIS and then accessing it using the domain address that I created.

So if anyone has the same problem do this:

1- create a new website set the directory to your websites address

(yourdomain.com==> c:...\yourUmbraco project)

2- go to hosts file and add your domain

(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

add

127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com

3- give access to your app pool worker (or everyone in your risk :D )

4- access your backoffice using yourdomain.com/umbraco
