Weblog stylesheet does not display

[jayc]

Hi,

 

I installed MT 3.17 on TCH (www.4dot9.com) and following the step by step instructions I found here and it went pretty smoothly.

 

However I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out.

 

When I go into mt.cgi to make a post, it looks very pretty, with all the formating and stuff.

 

However when I log into the Blog as a user www.4dot9.com/Blog I do not see any of the formating stuff. everything on the right margin, stacked up as a single column.

 

I checked the FAQ and here on the formum, and uncommented StaticWebPath and changed it to read StaticWebPath /Blog/ but it had no effect that I could determine, I still see the blog entry screens with all the fancy formating, and the blog itself as a plain vanilla page.

 

I intend to install a custom 3 column template, but it strikes me as a good idea to figure out why the default display does not work before I start tinkering around under the hood.

 

Since the entry screens show formatting, but the main screens don't it feels like it has to be a configureation problem.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

The stylesheet for your weblog appears to be located at this URL:

>http://www.4dot9.com/Blog/styles-site.css

...but your weblog's main index page is looking for it at this URL:

>http://WWW.4dot9.COM/styles-site.css

I think there may be a few settings you need to adjust.

 

In your mt.cfg file, you should have the following for the CGIPath setting:

>CGIPath http://www.4dot9.com/Blog/

Note the lower case 'www' and '.com'.

 

In MT, in the Weblog Config settings, you should have the following:

 

Local Site Path:

>/home/cpanelName/public_html/Blog

Site URL:

>http://www.4dot9.com/Blog/

Local Archive Path:

>/home/cpanelName/public_html/Blog/archives

Archive URL:

>http://www.4dot9.com/Blog/archives/

In the Local Site Path and Local Archive Path settings, replace 'cpanelName' with your actual CPanel username. As with the CGIPath setting, note the lower case 'www' and '.com' in the Site URL and Archive URL settings.

 

Once you've made these changes, rebuild your entire site.

David, thanks for the post, problems solved, when the configurator was asking for the main site url I did not realize that it was looking for the main BLOG site path, and not the top page of the website url.

 

Now on to trying to load in a whole new template <sigh>
