Hi,

I have made a fresh install of Oxwall. All files were uploaded, but I cannot see any styles or images when installing, on the frontend or in admin.

Any ideas what would cause this?

Thanks

.htaccess file search forums first please:

http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/432


Check that it is in the root and if it is post its contents. Also is this install in a sub directory and is there a .htaccess in the top directory if so post its contents.

This is what I have in my htaccess file:

AddEncoding gzip .gzAddEncoding gzip .gzip<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">  ForceType text/javascript</FilesMatch><FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$">  ForceType text/css</FilesMatch>

I have tried to open it in my browser, but it doesn't find it. However, they are all uploaded.

Any other ideas what's wrong?

What happens you must get some sort of error or 404, 500 page? What host are you with?

What host are you with? Do they allow htaccess as you are getting forbidden errors and your htaccess isn't rewriting the urls.

I'm with 123 Reg. I believe they allow htaccess.

Well ask them easiest thing to do.

Does 123 reg meet the requirements?

Server requirements

  • Apache 2 or higher (with mod_rewrite module)
  • PHP 5.2.6 or higher with:
    • register_globals off

There are no CSS files on your site. Try to do this- check as advise Keelan that your hosting meets oxwall requirements- set recursive 777 permissions for ow_static folder- enable DEV_MODE in ow_includes/config.php file and press F5 on any page.

I have double checked all of this and I am still having some issues with this.  I am not sure if it is due to a newer version of some of this software or something I am overlooking.  I have reinstalled this a few times and all result in the same, no theme or images showing.  I have checked permissions, made sure there is .htaccess, and made appropriate changes to the apache2 config files.  Does anyone have any other thoughs?  There are no errors in the apache error log.

change apache2 config files will not necessarily make all work try use easy apachie and enable all the dependencies 
  • suPHP off  on my vps i had to have this on  or the site just did not work 
    going to your site says forbidden your folder permissions are wrong and if your site is in root then look permissions on public html
