Here is what my site is supposed to look like:

http://moose.ca

This is what it looks like under .761:

http://moose.ca/pn761

Both versions are using the same DB and tables.

Suggestions where to start fixing things? Is this a known problem with themes of a certain "age".

Switching to a the "canned" themes that come with PN don't seem to work.

Ideas?

Looks to me like: 1. You're missing a lot of blocks. 2. You're missing your stylesheet, or it's linked wrong. Adding the stylesheet manually using firefox makes it look fine.

Thanks for looking at this so quickly!

Regarding 1, shouldn't they "just be there" given that I'm using the same database/config settings? The /pn761 file tree on the server filesystem is a untar of the PN tar ball, nothing tweaked by me. It is a distinctly separate set of files from the old site.

For 2, where is the style sheet called? I did a quick grep in the theme.php but it didn't reveal anything useful... Maybe that is the problem, but it works under .751 (implied location?) so I'm kinda at a loss. I don't remember having to do anything in this regard with my theme although it was written a looooong time ago.

I thought that it might be disliking being called from /pn761 instead of / so I tweaked the DocRoot in apache but that didn't change anything. That plus I'm not seeing 404 errors in the error_log.

Thanks for any pointers.

I also noticed something kinda odd...

If I go to http://moose.ca/pn761/admin.php I get a redirect to http://moose.ca/pn761/admin.php?name=Admin (guess this is a new thing to PN 761) and then I eventually get a time out:

"Safari can’t open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://moose.ca/pn761/admin.php?name=Admin”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page."

In IE in XP it just goes into recursive la-la land and fills the access_log with 302s:

xxx.yyy.zzz.16 - - [15/Dec/2005:15:11:53 -0500] "GET /pn761/admin.php?name=Admin HTTP/1.0" 302 -

Related? Red herring?

That explains your problem with blocks - the upgrade isn't complete, or you didn't follow the instructions in docs/manual.txt correctly. Which is it? if you haven't followed the manual, your best bet is to start the upgrade over again.

As far as the stylesheet is concerned, you'll have to change the path in the theme itself, where and how depends on the theme.

Ugh, didn't RTFM :!: I'm up and running now.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Not at all, but it's always nice if you read the documentation. Something to remember for the future? ;)
