I am running Mambo Stand Alone Server (MSAS) on my workstation while building a new CSS based template. As I make the changes, I upload the new CSS file to the MSAS and test it. After 4 hours of work and constant testing yesterday, I decided to install the template to my live site to see how it looked with my content (it was working perfectly fine on the MSAS). Upon uploading and publishing the template I was met with a page that had no CSS parsing at all. All of the content was completely unstyled and positioned.

I have checked the permissions on the template folder and files and they are alll set at 777

Why would it work fine on my MSAS but not work on my live installation? Both are v 4.5 1.0.7.

I'm kind of stuck here

the only thing i can think off now is that the paths aren't correct in ur template's index.php. Did you check that? And indeed if it was that it would be kinda weird.

<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/CBM/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

That is what is in my index.php. The template is called CBM and does contain a folder called "css" which in turn contains a file called "template_css.css". Not really sure what is going on.

and try it like this:

<link href="templates/CBM/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

or

<link href="templates\CBM\css\template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I have encoutered some servers where it would only work with backward slashes..

Also make sure CBM dir is in capitals...

I tried those suggestions to no avail. I'm not really sure why it is doing this. I can upload and use any other template with no problem.

some *nix based boxes, have a problem with upper caps direstory names,
try (cbm) not (CBM), i have ran into this problem b 4, it took me a while to relize that afrer installing the template all the directory names were lower case letters....
check the CBM directory, to see if it's lower or upper case...

hey guys, same thing happened to me and I've tried CSS templates like ytw_redbah, coffeerings_standard and ytw_h30 and they all don't work and all it generates is like a basic html file, with a header that says

and a warning for the newsflash component

but I checked in that folder and it contains nothing!!! also downloaded the original mambo zip file, and it also contained nothing...what should I do?

Thanks =)

Anyway, if you guys don't understand what I'm talking about, go here and choose those templates I've just mentioned from the template chooser....thanks
