I got a problem on my site, I'm using my modification on Joomla CMS version 1.0.12 stable, not installed from Fantastico. First all the images (gif, jpg, bmp, png) wont show, also the CSS doesn't load. This is happen when I'm installing new template for my Joomla site, preview here. Just take a look of the template, all of the new default template images and CSS doesnt showed/displayed correctly.
Also not only on template issue, each time I install new modules/components/mambots, it doesnt work correctly. The site should look like this, previous installation on another hosting, wait for a moment if it's not available on the browser coz the hosting got alot of server downtime >.<.

Normally everything is fine when I install templates/modules/components/mambots on Joomla, just install the files then it's all ready to use. The same problem happen also for Joomla 1.0.13 installed on Fantastico Auto Installer at my account, preview here.

The modified Joomla I use has been tested on several sites and it works fine, but not here.

Some help please ?

Did you make sure all the images were uploaded properly and that the permissions on the files and folders are correct.

Yes all the images are all uploaded correctly, I can guaratee that coz it says "Install template success...", also for the addons always says "Installation successful...".

Bout the permissions or CHMOD, this might be the problem, I've change the stat to 755 and it's all set, the images appear. But it's taking time if I should change CHMOD every new installation of a template/mods/comps/bots, and it's not what I want, it's too much taking time. Also it's not what I'm normally doing on developing a Joomla website, I rarely change file permissions coz everything was normal.
For another example, there's a content auto reloader module on the main page. When I install and apply it to the main page, the module doesn't auto-reload the content, but after I change the CHMOD it works fine.

In this case, how can I set the default CHMOD to a 755/ 777 that takes effect before applying/installing the addons? For security reasons I dont really recommend all my files on 755/ 777 CHMOD

If there's any better solution for this, I really appreciate that. Perhaps from other member who had a Joomla website at x10hosting.

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /digitalvei/templates/ja_xenia_ii_gamer/images/mainwrap-bg.gif on this server."
Your permissons isn't set properly.

I know this is a SMF post but read this about permissions. It should shed a bit of light on file permissions. I have had Joomla running on x10 with no problems loads of times.

Thanks Geoff for the useful info bout CHMOD, I've set some folder to 755 and now everything's normal again.
What's your Joomla site? What forum component did you use for the site if there's any? Can I take a look of the site ?:rolleyes:

I'm going back to finish my Joomla site then :biggrin:

Edit:
...... I've set some folder to 755 and now everything's normal again.


I'm taking back my words, my site doesn't showing any images from the new template I installed. Even I've set CHMOD to 777 on the 'templates' folder and all the files under it, but nothing's change.
Take a look here.
What's wrong? 777 also didn't work to display all the images. Not only images, new components, modules, bots doesn't work.
I'm getting tired coz I'm stuck for 2 days only for the issues that shouldn't be an issue on Joomla :(

Hmm, well I did a Google search and came up with this:

HTML:
"MikeinSC: I recently uninstalled PHPNuke, in favor of testing Joomla. The Joomla images are not showing up.
The same thing happened when I installed PHPNuke as well. Any thoughts why the standard images don't appear?
Is this a pathing issue? As a new user I have tried to be cautious and not delete anything according to what the
directions state.

Thanks in Advance."

"chaloupe: Maybe ask support to "chown -R" the images folder if you have check that the image folder have proper
permissions settings. I had same problem with Joomla installation and Mambo also. I had to always do a
chown -R username.username "mambo directory" because they could not write, read or view their new components
or mambots after they uploaded them.

So the code shoud look this in ssh:

chown -R your_username.your_username images

try that!"


It seems you need to "chown" the files, otherwise they're owned by "nobody"

Yes that would probably be it. I have had this problem with ownership myself. One of the admins can change the ownership of your files. Keep in mind that any changes you make to your site will probably mean that the files will have to be re-owned each time.

ewww....never thought that it will be so complicated :p
ok i've tried chown -r myusername.myusername "directory", and it says that unknown command. maybe my ftp software doesn't support chown command, idk.
weird, and this is the first time i'm stuck on joomla....sigh :(...and it's taking too long.
can one of the site admin do the chown for me and see the result after chown?
i just want a normal joomla site just like i always did, not like this one >.<
Edit:
--------------------
I just deleted all the files and folders under my public_html directory. There's only one folder (cgi-bin), one Joomla .zip file, and one image left (a jpg image) which i recently upload from cpanel file manager not thru ftp after i wiped all the files & folders inside it and the image is on CHMOD 777.
If you can see this image, than I'm the only one who had a problem.
Click here to see it.
If you can't see the jpg image, welcome to the club :) coz that's what I'm talking about, something weird on my account and I'm not sure what is it since I'm just a newbie.
I can't even make a sigle site here if there's no solution for this problem, and it looks like it's only me who had this problem.
Idk if I'm asking too much here as only a free hosting member. Sorry if I was, I'm just tired of handling this issue since the first time I sign up.
