Suddenly no Stylesheet applied at back-end [Solved]

[Art-art]

Hi,

I'm playing around with CMSMS fore few weeks now and all of a sudden the back-end shows no styled information, just plain HTML.
I was implementing the FrontEndUsers module followed by updating the config of the CMSMailer Module (if this makes sense).
The frond-end is fine as well as the login page of admin. As soon as I'm logged into the admin the stylesheets are not applied.

- Is this typical (for some mistake I made)?
- Where to look for a solution?

Kind regards (from a slightly confused),

Arthur

Did you look for any error in page source?
Did you try to uninstall the module you mentioned?
I had some problems like this because of module errors...

Hi Pishkus,

Thanks for your quick response. There are however no error messages shown.

I just checked the called css-file(s) in admin/index.php. This is admin/style.php. This file seems to be empty  ....
I think I have to verify the content of this file through ftp and then try to trace for missing or empty files.....

Currently I can't access the site through ftp (I'm at the office, they don't allow ports 21 and 22).
I'll have to wait and check later.

Will be back later.

Hi I managed to FTP the server and tried some things. After temporary renaming the captcha-directory in modules, the problem seems over 
Can I simply remove this dir manually?
Since it is renamed it's not shown in the installed modules list at the back-and enymore.

Hi Pishkus,

I just removed the Captcha module completely and reinstalled it via FTP in stead of via uploading the XML-file through the back-end.
Now it seems to work.

Once again thanks for your support.

What do you have set in "File Creation Mask (umask)" in Global Settings? I always set it to 000 instead of 022 (default)
I had the same issue with the captcha module: module had some problems with the dir for captcha images because it had wrong permissions...

I'm glad your problem is solved
Cheers!
