My store works great, but the admin area is all plain text and has no graphics, no color, and its all aligned down the left side of the page.
What is the first steps to fixing this? What files do people need to see?
Totally Zenned
Looks like you're missing some core files. Easiest way to fix this is to FTP the admin folder back to your remote host. If you use a good FTP program, it will prompt you to either overwrite existing files, or skip them.
Choose to skip them first.
If the problem still persists, you'll probably have to FTP again - this time choosing to overwrite.
Make sure you FTP the files properly, selecting BINARY or ASCII mode when appropriate.

I changed servers, and everything works but the CSS in the admin area.
I have re-uploaded every file... is there a setting I need to check somewhere?
Totally Zenned
Go to your admin area, then right-click in the screen - select View Source to see the generated HTML.
In the headers you'll see references to the css files. (If not, then you've some corrupted code somewhere) Check the stated PATHS to the css folders, and then op-en up the folders to see if the css files are where the path says they should be.

Checked all paths & files. Everything is correct. I re-uploaded working versions of all files.. I don't know what else to do.
I just moved servers, is there a setting that could be blocking it?

Looking for any help here... nothing seems to work..

I still have no CSS for the admin pages. Can anybody help?

It was mentioned that you should View Source for any Admin page and check the Headers.
Do you see this:
<link href="includes/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Here is the source code.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Cheap Stair Parts - Iron and Wood Stair Products. Iron Balusters, Wood hand rail, Accessories and more.</title>
<script language="JavaScript" src="includes/menu.js" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
<link href="includes/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/cssjsmenuhover.css" media="all" id="hoverJS" />
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

{
cssjsmenu('navbar');
if (document.getElementById)
{
var kill = document.getElementById('hoverJS');

}
}
// -->
</script>
</head>

OK, the link is there. Have you also confirmed the file "admin/includes/stylesheet.css" is there?
And, using your FTP program, can you confirm the file in your Hosting account is approx. the same size as the original on your computer; presuming you manaully uploaded & installed Zen Cart.

Style sheets are there.
Sizes look accurate.
Im stumped.

I am going to assume all of that code is correct because I am able to use my admin area, but there is no .css

So, if you go to http://www.cheapstairparts.com/ZenCart/admin/includes/stylesheet.css you get > 403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /ZenCart/admin/includes/stylesheet.css on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.Have you looked at this FAQ? https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=235

My hosting company ended up fixing it really fast. They said it was a permission error.
I would have never gotten to this point if you didn't try to pull up my .css file directly and gotten the 404 error.
Thank you so much for your time to help me!
