Images and CSS not Loading in Store

[sportbiker]

1) Customer has a website d m c - o n - l i n e . com (take the spaces out)
2) They're using version 1.3.8a and now have discovered why I said upgrade. I'm building a new store now, but I want to get this up for a few days so they're not losing money.
3) THE PROBLEM: For whatever reason, about two days ago, the site stopped loading images and CSS styling.

SIDE NOTES:
• The admin panel loads and appears to have CSS working there, but not on the storefront itself
• The web hosting company is phasing out php version 4, so I updated the database a month ago to version 5 php and the site was behaving fine until a couple days ago.
• Even as broken as the site is, during an attempt to check out, I receive an error:
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

I've exhausted all my research in the forums and through site inspection. Any ideas? I attached an edited copy of my includes>configure.php. But ince the database seems to be accessible by loading content (excluding images and format), I can't see how this is relative.

Using FTP check that this file exists and you might download it a inspect it

includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css

[sportbiker]

Yup, the CSS is there. Seems intact, and the syntax looks good (no missing content, semicolons, etc.)

Some ideas here:

Any unauthorized file changes anywhere on the site?

I note this in your page:

<base href="https://www. dmc - on - line . com/" />

https

and so its trying to get the css via https:....
While I would not have thought it would be a problem, Firefox->Web Developer->CSS->View CSS and clicking on a css file link yields an error as it cannot retrieve the file.

If I replicate this by changing my code from

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

to

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

I see exactly the same problem.
