Stylesheet changes not applying!?!

May be an .htaccess issue. Check with your host to see if they support
.htaccess useage.

Hi

thanks for the pointers. my sever supports .htaccess, they had this to say about it in their support section:

-------------------------
htaccess FAQ

An htaccess file is a simple ASCII file, such as you would create through a text editor like NotePad.

.htaccess is the file extension. It is not file.htaccess or somepage.htaccess, it is simply named .htaccess

htaccess files must be uploaded as ASCII mode, not BINARY. You may need to CHMOD the htaccess file to 644 or (RW-R--R--). This makes the file usable by the server. Currently .htaccess is only supported on the Linux server.

Most commands in htaccess are meant to be placed on one line only, so if you use a text editor that uses word-wrap, make sure it is disabled or it might throw in a few characters that can cause the Apache to end.

Unfortunately there are only certain commands that are supported on the Linux server, these are

• Mod_rewrite

---------------------------

Should that be ok for ZenCart? I know Streamline support Zen Cart installation as i checked with them.

Re: my configure.php files, what changes should i be looking for in them to see if there are any problems?

thanks again

I just used the developers kit to search for htaccess in all files and the only result was this (in the admin/includes/header.php file)

Line #11 : // $messageStack->add('REGISTERED GLOBALS ARE TURNED OFF IN .htaccess ','caution');

is this the problem? I dont really know what it means...!

oh, could upload mode affect this? should the entire zen cart fileset be uploaded in ascii mode? i'm not sure if this was done. would that make a difference? its just odd that everything is working except the css.

sorry for the multiple posts, i am uncovering new possilbilites all the time with your pointers, but dont think im going to solve this one alone!

If you send me your FTP access details (via PM) I'll take a look for you - no promises of a solution.

Just to eliminate other possibilities...did you get your ZC via the Downloads or from your host?

I realize that your host supports .htaccess, but could it be that the .htaccess is to restrictive (permissions)? Take a look at this FAQ.

Just another thought.

thank you econcepts and tshooter, you are both right it IS .htaccess. by changing the name of that file temporarily i get all the css appearing as it should.

now the question is just what edits do i make to htaccess so that its compatible with streamline's servers? i know i shouldnt just disable the htaccess file totally as that would mean a security hole right?

i have no idea about the htaccess code so dont know what to change to make it less restrictive. any suggestions?

thanks again

You'll need to check with your host to see what they need you to insert there to make it "compatible". Once you find that out, if you need help, shoot me a Private Message. Without that info though, we'd be shooting in the dark.
