Instal issues - No stylesheet? or somthing like that...

Hi All,

I have just installed Zen Cart onto my domain. It's the first time I have installed Zen Cart, but i have used OS commerce for at least 4 different stores, and have been through a few local installations too.

I have a problem, the Zen Cart pages do not show correctly. the boxes , tables and text all display fine, but withuot colour and some images. I'm hoping I have missed something obvious.

the original instal was on 5.x.x MySQL database, I thought this would be the problem, but have exactly the same on my 4.1.11 db.

I have double checked the entire installation and all files are on the server.

I have also installed OS commerce, latest version and this does not work either.

Would someone have a quick look? Hopefully you will see something that i am missing.

Any help much appriciated,

First thing is to set 644 permission for includes/configure.php fiile

hey, yeah i have done that, not on the current install just yet, but i've been through the install loads of times , with that done.

I'm just changing it now though, any other thoughts?

See if you have an .htaccess file interferring with your site ...

Rename any you see in the /store to .htaccess_HIDE and any that you see a level above to .htaccess_HIDE

Is this a windows or unix server?

Its a Linux server,

ill do the ht files now....

http://www.dreamtimecreations.eu/store/includes/templates/nifty_zen/css/stylesheet_new.css where the stylesheet should be can't be access. DId you actually uploaded the stylesheet? and other associated files for that theme?

Hi , that stylesheet is there, what should the permissions be?

still renaming htaccess files, nearly there!

Ahhhh...

Just renamed the uppermost htaccess file, i can see things.

ok, thank you very muc guys, im not sure its fixed but thats given me a rough idea.

i'll be back if i cant work out for sure.

thank you v much!

Right ,all fixed.

So if your tables are apearing, all looking quite empty with only a few images showing; the various links and catagorys work but appear incorrectly, Check the htaccess files in includes/ and admin/includes/

I have renamed these (deleted them basically) and all displays fine.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, most helpful.

You may want to try to discover "why" this happens as it does not happen on most unix sites ...

My web host allows you to switch from a Windows server, to a linux server. I tried swapping this in my many attempts to install, maybe this caused some weird htaccess files being created.

Not sure, it does work happily now though.
