CSS styles not showing in admin for IE6

Post by redcrew »

I'm running CMSMS 1.1 under Windows XP. In Firefox 2.0.0.7, when I choose Content > Pages > Home Page, the pages all display correctly, with styles being applied to content.

However, in IE6, those same three pages often don't display with styles. It's not consistent for the styles to not display, and whenever I refresh the page, the content is displayed correctly.

For example, when I select Content, sometimes the page will display styles correctly. Sometimes not, but it will always display correctly if I refresh the page. Same thing when I select Content > Pages > Home Page, the page will display as if no stylesheet is attached. If I refresh, the page will display correctly.

I've cleared my cache several times, closed IE completely, but still can't figure out why this is happening.

Recognize this problem. Staged the site on a server while still designing and filling it with content, after I copied CMSMS and db to another server I suddenly have the problem that in IE(6) all admin pages don't show the styles untill refresh. Except for the login page that is. Firefox does not give that problem.

Figured it must be some cache problem, but can't find the solution. Cleared the cache several times as well. Also thougth that it might have something to do with a (yellow) warning while installing.
Your session.save_path is "". Not having this as writable may make logins to the Admin Panel not work. You may want to look into making this path writable if you have trouble logging into the Admin Panel. this test may fail if safe_mode is enabled.
There was nothing in between " and ". No path, no words saying "not writable". However I did not experience login failure I tried to make a new session folder, make it writable and reroute it.. data was being saved there but that was not the trick. Undid that.

Anyone familiar with this problem and especially: with the solution? Any suggestions?

I was running CMSMS 1.2.3 under PHP5 (safe mode on) with Apache which worked OK. Don't have any hosting info (sorry) on the server where I relocated the site. Except, off course, PHP with mySQL (5.0.45).

--------------------
EDIT: SOLVED my problem by adjusting the path to the stylesheet in the admin/themes/default/defaultTheme.php file to an absolute one. So no referring to style.php but to http://www.myurl.com/admin/themes/default/css/style.css .

OK so I have CMSMS 1.2.3 running on XP with XAMPP actually a couple of installs in it, well one admin shows up fine the other would show unstyled so I made the link hard coded to the style.css and it works now...


Thanx
