Admin on live host no css?

:( Hi after a long time testing I uploaded my script to a live host for testing I follow all the steps here from the docs also edit both my configure.php and my shop front look great. But when I go to the admin the pages look wierd like the css did not load... or load bad?? On my localhost I still not have trouble? :(

Probably have a .htaccess file in /admin/includes directory?

Right.

Went there... tried that... still doesnt work. CSS loads fine on my forum, just not on ZENCART.

Phpbb3 loads correctly >>>> http://www.fppl.com/forum
Zencart no CSS >>>> http://www.fppl.com/zen

Any other ideas?

When you're doing installation, are you using fppl.net or fppl.dyndns.org ?
It would be safer to use the public address if you want things to display consistently.

Im having some server issues. I upgraded to apache 2.2.8 and reconfiguring as we speak. :)

Ok... here's the link:

The problem is being caused because your webserver is sending out .css files with a MIME type of text/html instead of text/css. Zen Cart uses a doctype that puts the browser into strict mode so the css file is being ignored due to an incorrect mime type. Your forum is probably working because it is running in quirks mode instead of strict mode.

How do I fix that? According to the zencart fix, its something in the apache/conf/httpd.conf file. Here are the lines in relation:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "xampp/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<Directory "/xampp/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Do I need to add AllowOverride ALL to <FilesMatch "^.ht">?

IIRC the mime types are defined in a file called mime.types . I would check there first to make sure that there is a text/css mapping for css files.

My Apache knowledge is a bit err patchy. Hopefully one of the web server experts here can help you more.

Same with apache, and text/css is listed:

text/css			css
text/directory
text/enriched
text/html			html htm
text/parityfec
text/plain			asc txt

Hmmmm...well, you could try adding...

AddType text/css .css

...to your .htaccess file which might allow you to work around the problem. Beyond that I'm into the realms of guessing so I better let the Apache experts dive in.

I tried adding... its still not working. :(

Did some research, tried some fixes, and still haven't found a solution. I'm re-installing xampp and zencart again. I wonder why this problem didnt start until recently? On the first install... it was perfect/textbook... without problems. Now all the sudden, no CSS. hmmm...

Don't work with Windows on a Server so not sure about how to correct your problem. What I can tell is how to know if it is solved.

You should a 'css' reference in any of these areas of a PHP Info output:

Specific to Apache 2
HTTP Headers Information

For Apache
SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"]

For PHP
_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"]
_ENV["HTTP_ACCEPT"]

ie.
application/........ ,text/css,..........

Im looking for those... This is in the PHPINFO():

default_mimetype text/html text/html

HTTP_ACCEPT
text/xml,
application/xml,
application/xhtml+xml,
text/html
;q=0.9,
text/plain
;q=0.8,image/png
,/;q=0.5

Noe I have no idea what the last little bit is, but I dont see text/css.

Have you complied PHP properly?

You are missing all kinds of stuff from your 'HTTP_ACCEPT' lines -- you should be showing indentical lines in the 3 'HTTP_ACCEPT' areas I mentioned before.

HTTP_ACCEPT is sent out by the browser to say what kind of mime types it accepts for rendering. The problem that dravekx is having is that his web server is serving up css files with a text/html mime type.

Since you're running xampp, perhaps there might be some additional support on the apachefriends website?

Didn't I see you mention (maybe another thread) that you were upgrading apache after installing xampp? Perhaps there's something busted in that apache upgrade process?
