this is exactally where my style sheet is on my server, i dont understand why i get this error.

i have sorted the double slash out but thats not fixed the problem

Why dont you read the posts I replied to you with? Strewth.

I have supplied you with the answer. You are hosting the website with Fasthosts, same as I am. Remove or rename the '.htaccess' files as I have detailed.

Also there is am FAQ on the problem

...FASTHOSTS ???? (No wonder why you're having problems

They were thinking about renaming their company to FAST-ASLEEP-HOSTS

[kitcorsa]

i been in contact with fast host and they said its the config of the htaccess file, so what does this file do and what does it mean if i delete it or rename it??

i renamed the file and style now works thak you, but is this file important for security???

.htaccess does several things... depending on the "instructions" coded into it. For example, it can contain a piece of code that prevents people from seeing (or accessing) the listed contents in a folder / directory.

It can also carry pieces of code that "adjust" server defaults (over-rides) such as GLOBALS, and other PHP settings.


Here is the default code in the .htaccess file in your INCLUDES directory... Read it to see what it does.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
# AllowOverride Limit
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)
#
# This does not affect PHP include/require functions
#
# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work

<Files *.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>

Fast(asleep)hosts should help you with configuring your .htaccess . To just delete it compromises security!

My advice would be to host with a certified zen cart host - then you won't get this stuff happening.

well everyone seems to be saying fast hosts are poor for zencart, what other servers are available, i have bought the domain i want from ukreg so i need to be able to keep this. also trying to keep the costs down to a minimum (hence doing all the work my self)

what do people recogment? UK servers

Its an annoying thing really this. I had installed oscommerce, but had issues, the fasthosts site suggested using zencart instead, so I have installed that and that doesn't work out of the box either

Zen Cart does work fine out of the box with a hosting site that is properly setup and optimized for an e-commerce solution for use with php and MySQL ...

When the hosting site does not have the server setup properly for your needs ... this makes it very difficult for software to run correctly ...

I have set up more than 50 webshops using Zen Cart. Before I do this for my customers, I tell them that I will not get involved in the project unless I have their sanction to specify the site hosting service.

I would rather walk away from potential business if a potential customer insists on staying with a host that is not geared for zen cart.

There are a handful of webshosts that I use - all of them geared to host Zen Cart.

I have NEVER had a problem.

I put this down to using a host that knows and understands Zen Cart.

I have Zen Cart sites hosted with Fasthosts with no problems whatsoever. You just have to modify the the .htaccess files as mentioned earlier in this thread.

Can I ask how you modified it? Earlier posts suggest removing htaccess, which does solve the problem but then introduces a security issue.
