I installed on a linux sever now my template doesnt work and my admin doesnt

Hey everyone

I installed zen cart on a linux sever, and installed my template now i cant see the template only text and the same on the admin page.. only text.. ive swapped the templates around and its still the same.. please help me as im very new to this :( !!

Does your template have a template_info.php file with it on the server?

Yes it does indeed, i installed it with a sql patch aswell does that make a difference on a linux sever?

Linux is the preferred platform

Without seeing what you have attempted and have it is difficult to troubleshoot

Templates should be in the following form for dir's

/includes/templates
        /classic
        /my_custom _template1
        /my_custom _template2
        /my_custom _template3
        /template_default

http://www.oeskateboards.co.uk/

that is my webpage.. obviously a bit of a mess! :)

Viewing the source it is picking up the template name but this could be a remnant from the DB....

It is not finding the stylesheet.css that should be in your template folder structure

What can i do to make it find it?

sorry im such a noob :(

Post your template structure

im so sorry but what do you mean by template structure?

The top template folder for your template, files in it, then the sub folders contained within, and the files contained in each, etc
Along the lines of my #4 post here

/htdocs/includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07

Within that is;

Buttons
Common
css
images
jscript
sideboxes
templates

template info.php

Is that what you wanted?
and thankyou for trying to help

What are the files inside of common and css?

common;

html header.php
main template vars.php
template info.php
tpl box default right.php
tpl box default left.php
tpl box default single.php
tpl box header.php
tpl columnar display.php
tpl footer.php
tpl header.php
tpl header test info.php
tpl list box content.php
tpl main page.php
tpl tabular display.php

And in CSS;

css read me.txt
ie6 stylesheet.css
print stylesheet.css
product info.css
shopping cart.css
slideviewer.css
styllesheet.css
stylesheet.php
stylesheet css buttons.css

About all that I can suggest at this point is that you tripple check each template file using FTP that there are no "0" byte files

Okay thankyou :), does it make a difference that it works fine on windows servers and not on linux though everything seems to be the same?

As I stated Linux is the preferred platform

You might check both your configure.php files for proper paths

Just a Thought.

What might make a difference on Linux is that your template is in UPPER case or it's in lowercase but is looking for it in uppercase.
