This question may be related to a resolved thread.

My website went down a few days ago and I upgraded to the latest ee build and that worked out all the kinks. It originally went down just as I was trying to implement 2 changes, one of which was implementing Modernizr. I got the site working again and uploaded the Modernizr js file and again the site is down. Do ee and Modernizr just not get along? I can reinstall the current build and it will probably set everything right, but then should I give up on Modernizr?

Thanks!

I’m not familiar with Modernizr. What did you do to attempt to get it to work? This may very well need to be moved to the CodeShare Corner, though.

It’s just a javascript library: http://www.modernizr.com/
All I did was upload the javascript library to the public_html folder.
And…that was it. No more website. :(
Any ideas?

Unfortunately not, although I don’t see how that can be an EE issue as such. Are you removing index.php from your URLs?

Nope, I’m not removing index.php from the URLs. Maybe it’s because I’m uploading it through the File Manager, but I’m uploading it directly to public_html? It’s the only thing I changed from the time between when the site worked to when it didn’t. And then I erased that javascript file anyway and the site still isn’t back up. At this point I tried to reinstall expression engine just to get the site working again (since that worked last time), but since I’m now at the latest build, the install wizard doesn’t seem to want to let me do that.

When I did upload the modernizer js library with File Manager, he URL it was pointing to was just http://www.site_name.com/modernizr_javascript_library.js. So, in that way, I guess I was kinda trying to get rid of index.php without knowing it. But that’s erased now, so I don’t know why that would still be a problem.

Hi, DanaK.

Typically you’d upload javascript files via an FTP program, not from within the File Manager.

I normally create a jscss folder to hold all my javascript and css files outside of EE. Then I reference them by calling for them from the /jscss folder.

What’s in your template that you’re using as the default template?
