I had exactly the same symptoms after installing Qube3-All-Security-4.0.1-15714

In /var/log/httpd/adm_error:


PHP Warning:  cce: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with debug=0, thread-safety=0 module API=20001222
PHP compiled with debug=0, thread-safety=0 module API=20001214
These options need to match

My problem appeared to be that when I'd installed the
Qube3-All-Security-4.0.1-14039.pkg (PHP Upgrade) package, it hadn't
actually been successful, so I was still running the old version
of PHP, which isn't compatible with this latest update...

I don't know if there's a way for force the Qube to reinstall an
package it thinks is already applied, so I took the package to bits
to force install the RPMs and now the admin interface works again.

Hope that's of some help
