I’m having the most difficult time figureing out why the forum will not display properly.
I just upgraded to 5.0 from 4.5.1 and before doing so, everything looked fine.
Please help

looks like you have 5.0 themes installed wrong… getting this error:
“NetworkError: 404 Not Found – http://longspeakdiscgolf.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/styles/default.php?color=ice”
do you have the themes in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes??
if so, the permissions or ownership on the sp-resources directory might not be correct. can you check?
Index view shows all the way to file:
http://longspeakdiscgolf.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/styles/
Here is dir listing:
-rw-r–r– 1 lpdg lpdg 57485 Feb 10 18:41 default.php
drwxr-xr-x 2 lpdg lpdg 4096 Feb 19 16:48 images
drwxr-xr-x 2 lpdg lpdg 4096 Feb 19 16:48 overlays
-rw-r–r– 1 lpdg lpdg 2061 Dec 20 20:20 reset.css
What else? writable?
compare the owner of sp-resources (is it web user or apache or nobody) to say simple-press in the plugins dir…
your server settings might be such that we couldnt create it properly and you need to manually adjust…
I found similar problem when I had enabled suPHP.
Check if your Apache PHP handler is suPHP or DOS or CGI?
My hosting provider also experimented with it and was surprised to see this as he was able to replicate similar error. Same configuration … except the way PHP is handled.
The user is the same through out the whole dir structure (lpdg) – this is hosted on a dedicated server and each account has its own user name.
guppydas, yeah but hasnt been universal across suphp… but I think its related here…
phranker… something is preventing the web user from accessing the sp-resources directory via http… are you sure the owner of the sp-resources is not set to nobody? you are sure the owner is lpdg:lpdg?

Not quite sure how to check – loaded phpinfo(); searched suPHP – nothing found…
I’m lost?!?!?!?
do you have ssh access? guessing so based on your server description…
do a:
ls -la
on the sp-resources directory and see who the owner is… might be worth doing it in wp-content too and comparing…

wp-content is lpdg:lpdg as well
to make sure – I did a [ chown -R lpdg:lpdg * ] in root www dir
still no good — what can it be??

Ok Look for the value “Server API” … what does it say? That will tell you which handler is in effect. Some of the answers are :
1) Apache 2 Handler (which also is I guess the DOS handler)
2) CGI
3) suPHP

Server API = CGI/FastCGI
Sorry My bad, I was wrong. Been up for over 20 hrs and tired so I am bit confused in my head.
Looks like you ARE ON suPHP …
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/phpsuexec-or-suphp this will sort of explain a little.
My guess is for some reason suPHP is messing up with either CSS or the PHP script which uses CSS for final output of the layout for redering as an HTML page.
Well I guess Mr Papa will have to help you on that one. I will keep an eye open for this issue. If you happen to resolve it, please do take a few moments and share the process here. It will be highly appreciated.
