Yeah, I can see the homepage. But the images are not showing up; images from the style sheet and uploaded via the admin area.

OK, can you show me one of your style sheet images links?

Sure thing, here is what I’ve got:

#header  {
      background: #fff url(/images/background-header.jpg) no-repeat;
}

Sure thing, here is what I’ve got:

#header  {
      background: #fff url(/images/background-header.jpg) no-repeat;
}

Hmm, there should be quotes around the url; also, I always use an absolute path.  Try changing your background rule to this

background: #fff url('{site_url}images/background-header.jpg') no-repeat;

to see if that has any effect.

One other thought - wondering if maybe the original developer saved templates as files?

You modification to the style sheet worked, good idea. 😊 But my only concern is on the remote site the “{site_url}” is not being used in the style sheet. Why should I need to change it now? (just curious)

I looked the through files/directories and didn’t see any files that jumped out at me as individual template files.

It may have something to do with the old site using an earlier version of EE.  I just tired removing {site_url} from my CSS on a local server and sure enough, it broke, so I would suggest you update all of your CSS rules to include {site_map}. 

Re: you other issue of not being able to get to About Us - can you show me the link to that page as it appears in your home page template?

Ok, that could make sense. Could we get a Moderator to clarify this by chance? (just to be sure)

For my navigation, I’m assuming I might need to add the same thing? Here’s what it looks like:

<ul id="nav">
                <li id="home"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
                <li id="about"><a href="/about/">Health</a></li>
                etc….
</ul>

Thanks for all you’re help on this by the way. Much appreciated.

                etc….
</ul>

No wonder it does not work!  Change it to this:

<ul id="nav">
                <li id="home"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
                <li id="about"><a href="http://{path=about}">Health</a></li>
                etc….
</ul>

Hmm.. this is strange as it works perfectly on the remote site. And the version of EE is the same on my local environment as the remote site. What you suggested makes total sense, but I am still wondering why/how it works on the remote site without “{path='about'}”

Ok - so I updated the link with the {path…} and that didn’t fix my problem in going to the specified page. The url is correct, but the page being displayed is a 404 page..

man… I am getting some funky results right off the bat. Not off to a good start. haha Something so simple as running locally should be a fairly easy task.

I can download the EE Core version and get the running locally with no problem at all.

..any chance some of these problems could be coming from my .htaccess file?

Absolutely - I assume you are talking about an .htaccess on your remote server?  If, so make a copy and I will take a look.  You may have redirects that explain why things work on the remote but not on your local
