"error unable_to_check_admin_permissions" ajax error

[alex.smart]

I'm getting this error on all of the site builder buttons apart from AdminCP.

These are the logs from console when I switch the site builder on.

 vBulletin.loadingIndicator.show Counter: 1 Source: ajaxStart
  [TABLE]
 	 		[TR]
 			[TD="class: td1"] 			POST http://mysite/ajax/render/stylesheet_block
 			[/TD]
 			[TD="class: td2"] 			500 Internal Server Error
 			[/TD]
 			[TD="class: td3"] 			 
 			[/TD]
 			[TD="class: td4"] 			 
 			[/TD]
 			[TD] 			 
 			[/TD]
 		[/TR]
 	 [/TABLE]
  vBulletin.loadingIndicator.hide Counter: 0 Source: ajaxStop

And when I click on the Page Manager Button...

The php5 version download doesn't work, using default .php version which works with the site builder.

The recommended extension is PHP. Using the others is reserved for advanced users that know how to configure their web servers to work with them. Using the php extension allows it to work on 98% of servers out of the box.
