Here's an odd one: I just installed ModX Revolution 2.2.4 and all went well, but in the back end its like the css file is missing - it either loads just some of the page, or the whole page with no CSS.

In my browser console it says it cannot find the css file at all. I checked the files and directories - all are intact and all permissions are correct.

I've tried reinstalling and on two different servers both with the same occurrence.

The only thing that came up is that during the installation it couldnt unzip the file core.transport.zip, so I unzipped it on my PC and re-uploaded it.

Would anyone know whats going on at all?

Thanks

  • normally you wouldn't need to unpack the transport packages yourself. Did you install into a subdirectory? – Yoshi Jul 09 '12 at 07:11
  • Actually yoshi, yes I did install it into a sub directory – MeltingDog Jul 09 '12 at 07:13
  • I have often had the same problem after moving modx to a subdirectory, though never after a fresh install. You might want to try again without unpacking the transport packages.

  • Yeah I have. I get the same error both times...I've also gone back to 2.2.2 with the same results. Very frustrating! – MeltingDog Jul 09 '12 at 07:18

  • What are the permissions on the css file and the directory containing it? – okyanet Jul 09 '12 at 08:58
  • @okyanet all permissions are fine - all 7s – MeltingDog Jul 09 '12 at 09:46
  • Try uploading the `setup` folder again and rerun the install. Does that fix it? – OptimusCrime Jul 09 '12 at 13:49
  • Copy and paste the full css path out of your html source (from the rendered page) and into a new tab. Does it load? Is the path correct? – okyanet Jul 10 '12 at 04:42

The issue was the zipped files within ModX were not unzipping when I did the install. Either unzip them on your PC, fix or update the PHP on the server, or install an older version (2.1.7 works ok)
