Thread

I’ve just moved from developing locally to a (private) remote server for testing.

Everything’s gone fine except there is no styling anywhere in the CP. The ‘Theme Folder Path’ in [(CP) Admin -> System Preferences -> General Configuration looks] fine to me. I have EE installed to the server webroot (public_html) and have set this path for the Themes folder:

/public_html/themes

I know the URL to themes folder is set correctly in this same CP section, since it shares all but the last URL segment with other settings in there, and they function correctly. I have checked the Themes folder is present in the /public_html/themes location via FTP, and it is indeed there.

Any idea why the CSS is not being retrieved? I’m happy to try anything suggested.

Many thanks,

David

There’s another issue - I mention this because it’s clearly path-related, and may be symptomatic of the same issue causing the problem mentioned above.

I’ve changed the default QuickLink with my login to point to my site’s homepage. Loading the URL I’ve specified for this does indeed load my site’s homepage, as desired. However, using the quicklink loads a URL of the form:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php?URL=path/to/mysite/index.php">http://www.mysite.com/index.php?URL=path/to/mysite/index.php</a>

The URL component prior to ‘?URL=’ should, I believe, actually be:

<pre><code>http://www.mysite.com/system/index.php</code></pre>

..where ‘system’ is the name of my EE system folder.

The QuickLink as it stands doesn’t load my site’s homepage.

Let me specify exactly what’s in my [CP Home ›  Admin ›  System Preferences ›  General Configuration] :

Name of your site:                           mysite

Name of your site's index page:              index.php
    
URL to the root directory of your site:      <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/">http://www.mydomain.com/</a>
    
URL to your Control Panel index page:        <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/system/index.php">http://www.mydomain.com/system/index.php</a>
    
URL to your "themes" folder:                 <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/themes">http://www.mydomain.com/themes</a>
    
Theme Folder Path:                           /public_html/themes

To clarify again - EE dir contents (system, plugin, themes etc.) are all in my server’s webroot, i.e. local path is /public_html .

The only change I’ve made during relocation to this server is renaming my database. I have updated the name in config.php, and everything except the homepage styling, and now this QuickLink, works fine. The name of the database was originally ‘mysite’; this was, and still is, the name of the template group containing all my site’s contents.

I would be grateful for any suggestions! Many thanks.
