CMS Made Simple Forums

Brilliant, thanks Rolf

I think we can now mark this topic as solved 

Just tried removing the filetypes one at a time and still no luck.

Even when I removed all the filetypes from within the brackets no luck.

It looks like I'm stuck with disabling it for the time being....

I could try re-enabling it but removing one type of file at a time until it works.  That way I'll know what's causing the problem.

Do you have any ideas Rolf?

I don't want to jump ahead of myself but I have solved the immediate problem. The images now display correctly. To do this I renamed the .htaccess file to htaccess.bak in the uploads folder (effectively disabling it). This wasn't my idea, I did a search for "CMSMS Fasthosts" on Google and ...

Thanks for taking so much time Rolf.

I'll see if I can change them myself via ftp and if not iI'll speak to my host.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Regards,  John

Hi Rolf,

Did you just get the PM?

Now going to go a step further back and re-download from CMSMS site to ensure original file wasn't damaged. Up until now I have not used the checksum files but this time I will try it.  If I download the two files at the top of the downloads list is that all I need?  I was then going to use 7-zip to...

Okay,  I have just deleted the whole site and re-uploaded followed by installation and I still have the same problem.

We can now discount the pretty URL code as the problem....

Sorry Rolf,  That still didn't sort it.  I tried 755 and even 777 (with full recurse on subfolders) but with no luck I have decided to try a clean upload and install to see if I get the same problem (without worrying about pretty urls). I'll post again to let you know what effect this has. Thanks fo...

Argghhh, It didn't work Rolf. I renamed the two .htaccess files to htaccess.txt and then replaced the config file with the original unaltered one. I then logged in and went to site admin > global settings > advanced setup where I clicked the 'clear cache' button. I then logged in again but only to f...

Thanks for the reply Rolf. I have tried switching off pretty URLs by disabling the htaccess files and commenting out the config file but it didn't seem to help.  The following is what I have got in my htaccess files.  I have removed all the commented out lines. The following is at the top level to r...

Hi everyone, I have just completed a fresh install and everything seems to work fine except for the background images from the theme.  As a result all my menus have no background colour or image and are practically unreadable as text is written over other text. The site can be seen here: www.xxxxxxx...
