Hi, I have just uploaded cotonti to my web server hosted by Fasthosts and I'm having a small problem applying any theme. Here's what I'm getting: http://bit.ly/lH42nm I have changed the fields within the config.php and still nothing. The only thing I can think of is setting the folder permissions to CHMOD 777 (presently 700), but any FTP software I use complains that it cannot apply the change because it cannot find the file or folder. Not quite sure what I can do now to fix this... can anyone please help?

Added 41 minutes later:

On another note, because I'm not too familiar with the PHP environment(I'm more of a VB/ASP person) I have just learned that CHMOD is only available on Unix servers. The website is running under Windows. What can I do?

if you are hosted on a windows server you can be sure there is something similar to chmod if not the same. the data folder needs to be read/writable all others readable. your screenshot is looking good. where is your problem exactly?

Because I don't have access to the server it's hard for me to check the NTFS permissions. In the past I have had scripts which read/write to folders so I don't think folder permissions is an issue to be honest.

That screenshot shows a some what grey theme, I'm not sure that the default nemisis theme is supposed to look like that, or is it?

But what I don't understand is I have changed the default theme name within the config.php to the "Endless Ocean" (name of the folder within /themes/) and nothing happens.

All out of ideas!

Change the theme in your user profile or logout to enable the default theme.
