New Install - CSS not displaying, error

I ran into what I thought were issues with an upgrade so I just ran the full install (1.10.1 on PHP5) on a new database (MySQL5.0) to start from scratch. But I'm still getting the same error.
My template is displaying but the CSS is not being rendered. If I view the source and try and open the CSS itself I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function GetConfig() on a non-object in [path omitted]/htdocs/lib/adodb.functions.php on line 17
It's a simple template with a couple global content blocks and that's it. The site was functioning previously on Black Rock.
What am I missing?

I'll add that line 17 in the referenced file is:
$config = $gCms->GetConfig();

Wasn't black rock 1.2.3? something from 08? you are supposed to update to 1.9.4.3 before attempting a leap, but I would do upgrades back from the beginning, there's some instructions, scroll down for old version upgrades:

Exactly, that's why I ran a full install on a new database. It's a small site so I just recreated all the pages by hand but unfortunately I'm still running into this issue.
I've currently set the site to render CSS just from a file but I'd like to have it use the CSS inside of the template.

Can you post your template here please? I think we need more info.
All I can say for now is that I suspect that you missed an important notification in the release notes of the newer CMSMS versions. But I am not a fan of guessing without enough information. Your issue is probably related to the stylesheet call in your template. However, to be sure, I would like to see it.
When you upgrade in such a big jump, even if you do a whole new install, it is still necessary to read release notes so you know if essential things in the system, f.e. templating, have changed.

Sure, here's the template, it's pretty simple. The one CSS call that's there right now is just my workaround. If I assign and use the CSS inside CMSMS it doesn't render and clicking through the source code to get to the CSS is when I get the error message.

change {stylesheet} to {cms_stylesheet}

Oh and I've also run the site verification using the checksum from the CMSMS site. The listed missing files are /tmp/cache/SITEDOWN and the rest are from the install folder which I deleted after the system was installed.

Ahhhh! Thanks! That fixed it. My kingdom for automatic updates so I don't get this far behind next time!

I had a similar issue and had already updated the templates to use {cms_stylesheet}. Sone background images refused to render.
Reverting to {stylesheet} actually corrected the problem.

When I first changed to use {cms_stylesheet} my backgrounds weren't rendering, but changing their path from "images/image.gif" to "/images/image.gif" fixed that issue.

You can also use [[root_url]]/images/image.gif with {cms_stylesheet}

Yep. That works nicely. Thanks.
Are there any advantages to the new tag? Everything appears the same as usual.

{cms_stylesheet} caches the stylesheets instead of getting it from the database each time. It also processes the stylesheet through Smarty.. Instead of {tag} or {var}, you can use [[tag]] or [[$var]], however, it is only computed once at the time of caching.. Your smarty variables are evaluated at that time, so if your variable or tag is changing, it won't see it.
