Moving files to another server causes odd problems in the admin panel [solved]

I have a weird problem when i moved files and database backup from the devel server to the production server. Everyting seems fine until i open up admin panel > content > pages.
It is completely blank!  :o ???
No pages are printed to the screen. Tried debugging the problem, turned debugging on from the config file but it doesn't help since the Pages page does not produce any debuggin messages. Checked the log files - nothing.
I also did a fresh install and the same problem still occurs.

Any advices how to find the cause of the problem?

Merry Christmas!

It looks like PHP encounters a Fatal Error.
Check the PHP log_errors, error_log, error_reporting and display_errors settings.

Did you raise the PHP memory_limit (set to 8M by default, but that isn't enough in many cases)?

Did you clear the site cache... Site Admin > Global Settings....

I have to check the php error logs etc and the memory limit which I didn't raise.
I tried clearing the cache but it didn't seem to resolve the situation.
I put my money on the php error log checking if it brings the solution.

Thanks!
I'll be back with the information as soon as I check the server.

Yes! I did solve the problem. And it was quite easy solution. The PHP memory_limit was only 8m on the server and raising it to 32M solved the situation and the site works now perfectly.
Thanks for the advices
