AdminPage Not showing graphical HUD

Howdy,

Just set up my web site with zen 1.51 today, went pretty smoothly, but when I log into my "admin" page. I cannot configure stuff because all my graphical buttons are missing.

I have a picture showing what I mean. Only the text links are visible to me.
Anyone experienced this and know whats up? I read through quite a few FAQ's without seeing anything.

Thanks!

Check your admin/includes for stylesheet.css file

Alrighty will do

Alrighty, stylesheet.css is in the correct place.

Did that help??

No, I mean it was in the correct spot the entire time, no change.

Try reloading all admin files

Some additional things to check if uploading a clean copy of the admin files (and of course fixing permissions) does not fix the problem:

Double check to make sure there are no spaces, &, #, or % in your renamed "admin" folder. These can and will cause problems.

Double check /admin/includes/configure.php especially the 'HTTP_SERVER' and 'HTTPS_SERVER' defines. Make sure there is a trailing slash and the server name is correct (for example: 'http://www.zen-cart.com/').

The "magic" in this file usually takes care of configuring the next two settings automatically for you, but you may also have to change 'DIR_WS_ADMIN' and 'DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN' to be the name you changed your "admin" folder to (for example: '/Wea42gc1/').

Correct me if I am wrong, but the last time I checked, there should be NO trailing slash in the url, see the comments in the config files.

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://localhost');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

You are right. :)

Well, I messaged my host and they said that the AllowOverrides parameter is already set in their server's httpd.conf settings file.

All the links in the config file are correctly set. When I look at the actual store page itself, everything works fine by the way.

Let's look at this in a very simple way.

Back to basics.

1. Go to the page that's displaying oddly.
2. right-click and choose View Page Source
3. Find the <link ....> tag for the stylesheet. Take the src= parameter, and type that URL into another tab in your browser, and press Enter.
4. What happens?

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cart/admin/includes/cssjsmenuhover.css on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Permissions looks correct for the file...

Have you tampered with any .htaccess files? If so, why and in what way?

If it's telling you Forbidden, then something is denying you access. And if it's because you've added or changed the default .htaccess settings, then Forbidden responses would be unsurprising.

Nope, haven't touched it.

You will need to get eyes on it from someone who has connection to your hosting account ... ie: your hosting company's tech support.
