JSON Parse Error in Administration after 2.8.5 Moodle install

JSON Parse Error in Administration after 2.8.5 Moodle install

Hello

I've just installed Moodle 2.8.5. on my clients server - Linux server with PHP 5.4.34 and MySQL - 5.5.37-cll

I am logged in as the Administrator.  I get error "JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF" when I click on "Site Administration".

I am unable to switch on debugging through either "Edit Settings" on the menu as it goes to a blank screen.  

Although I am comfortable digging around in code, I am new to Moodle and don't know what to look for or even where to look. I've searched both Tracker and Forums and have not been able to find a solution. 

Any and all assistance is welcome.

Thanks,
Linda
