154 fresh install template css not loading

Your thought about the base ref being https is spot on

Now just to find where it is picking this up from

there is no .htaccess file in the root of the server.

there are .htaccess files in both catalog/include and admin/include, but none in the root.

Check your hosting account control panel for any redirect or such
This has to be generated from somewhere

I'll have a check..

I don't see any redirect from the account control panel (cPanel). I could send you privately the access to that individual cPanel, in case there is something I overlooked.

I just downloaded a copy of zen151 and did a manual install, and it works beautifully. no problems whatsoever. same domain, same server. (it's there now..)

Just half an hour before, I did an extra manual install (just in case..) with zen154 and had same problem, not loading css, base href=https!

now with the zen151 I get in the source code of homepage base href=http, and everything is smooth.

crazy stuff. zen154 must be handling something in a different way comparing to zen151.

I'm going to try now to do a manual install with zen 153 to see if it works, in order to try to pinpoint the problem.

Nope!
zen153 it's the same as zen 154.
in the source code i get base href=https and css not loading.

so whatever is causing my problem it's something that has changed from zen151 to zen153

Having many installs of 1.5.4 myself and the community in general without this issue I doubt that it is primarily a ZenCart issue
Who is your host

Zencart it's fine. I just need to understand why up to the 1.5.1 zen it's working fine, and from 1.5.3 onwards it's not working on my server.
Probably has to do with Apache configuration.
So I just need to read better into the requirements for zen154, which I'm having a look at the moment.
As said before, any suggestion will be much appreciated as I haven't found the solution yet.
