spinach Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I'm new to osCommerce/PHP/mySQL so this is probably a dumb question, but ... I've installed the latest download (v2.2 RC 2a) and set up the database OK, reset permissions according to the documentation via SSH, and the storefront looks fine. However, when I go to the admin side, from the login screen onward, neither the stylesheet nor any associated images are displaying, so it's difficult trying to interact with these pages. Clicking View Source confirms that the line <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/stylesheet.css"> exists in the header, the stylesheet is there on the server in the admin/includes folder, and looks fine when I check its contents, but for some reason it's not modifying the display. Ideas anyone?
germ Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 If there is a .htaccess file in the /admin/includes folder rename it to text.htaccess If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

spinach Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks. That did the trick. Just so's I can understand, can you tell me why the .htaccess file was preventing the stylesheet working?
germ Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 It contained directives that were improperly coded or not applicable in that context.
