SMF not working properly anymore

Post by Lunaversity »

So for some odd reason (even with the old version that use to work) SMF seems to not work anymore on my new webhost (still NFO). I had an old webhost with NFO before and it worked great, but now it seems to be completely broken as shown in the picture;

I've tried the root directory, and the default directory I was going with "/forum" and it didn't work then. I wiped the database and did everything, this is a clean install of both the webhost and the software.

You are missing assets like css/image files. Is this a fresh install? Make sure the website is configured properly and that the assets are readable by the web server.

It is a fresh install, along with the website being fresh too, so I'm not sure what would need to be configured.

Do you have the proper domain set in the config file? What is your websites URL?

all of your assets are trying to be pulled from 127.0.0.1(or localhost).

You must of misconfigured your software during installation.

Looking closer I see this in particular:

Code: Select all

		var smf_theme_url = "http://127.0.0.1/smf/Themes/default";
		var smf_default_theme_url = "http://127.0.0.1/smf/Themes/default";
		var smf_images_url = "http://127.0.0.1/smf/Themes/default/images";
Try going to your forums admin CP and changing settings like these.

I have no idea why it would try and pull from the IP address, I never set it to that, it doesn't give the option to set it to anything just in the settings where it has the server identifier and goes to source, cache and board.

I am not talking about your NFO CP, your SMF CP.

If this is a new install, just reinstall the software and make sure you configure it right this time.

Yeah, I re-installed it over a dozen times, and it doesn't allow me to change anything that directs towards the IP/Domain url or whatever it's called. It just automatically directs there in the setup.

Are you getting your install package from simplemachines.org?

I just went through the install process and the only place I can think of that it might of been messed up is where you set your board url.

So I got the issue solved, it was because they where pointed to the wrong urls, thanks for your help soja.

(Used the repair_settings.php and set everything to default and it re-routed everything)

Used the same repair.php script.
Just wanted you to know you're not the only one:)
