I have had issues with my clients website built on cmsmadesimple, a few times the site can loos its css or i get a nasty error 404 Object not found! when trying to login from firefox or chrome, but in ie i used to be able to login now i get address not valid, help please as this is the third time and it is very frustrating as no one can login to make changes. It happens after you have entered the username and passowrd and as soon as you click submit the error happens.

anyone any ideas on what would cause this issue.

Thanks in advance

for your reference the website is http://www.usel.co.uk/admin/

When I attempted to login your site redirected to "http://www.usel.co.uk/login.php rather than /admin/login.php. This is what gave me the 404 error. Do you have some odd settings in your .htaccess in the root?

I have not checked this it always seems to happen to firefox,chrome it now seems to work in ie but the stylesheet is ignored if you view the site you can see it is completly ignored, what would cause this?

Thanks in advance
Jonathan

the website main url: http://www.usel.co.uk
as you will see it ignores the stylesheet.

i have discovered there is no ".htaccess" in the root for some reason, i can only sumise that the client has deleted this, why i do not know they also installed moodle and as both cms made simple and moodle prefer different php versions i can only asume there is a conflict somewhere also as it only seemed to happen soon after moodle install.

No style: When I looked at the source code I saw this CMSMS stylesheet link:

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.usel.co.uk/tmp/cache/stylesheet_52_1359203955.css" media="screen"/>
However the css file gives a 404 error (not there). Clear your cache (in admin area)?

Missing .htaccess - don't forget a lot of FTP programs default to not showing you hidden files - check yours. It might actually be there.

If client has installed Moodle in the same directory as CMSMS then anything could have happened! :-\
