Symptoms

If you add a unit to your site with the same name as the administrative interface, the site stops working properly (eg. starts returning blank pages from otherwise functional EPT Presentation templates etc.)
 

Cause

 
This can be introduced unknowingly by choosing for example the name "admin" or "system" instead of the default "cs" for the administrative interface while installing one of the supplied sample sites.

By using the same name for a unit and the administrative interface you will most likely introduce security settings conflicts into your system that prohibits eg. presentation templates from working properly.

 
 

Resolution

In new installs - Make sure you don't name your admin interface "admin" - use the default name suggested instead , ie. "cs"
In existing installs - Make sure you don't create a unit using the same name as the admin interface.
