I can see the color changer - I can choose colors, I get a nice preview, but when i submit changes, nothing happens. I have tried garland and minelli, and made sure i'm not looking at my admin theme, and files are saved in a .../files/color/minelli_random# directory. I am running multiple sites from one code base.

here's my info page:
==============================
Drupal 5.0-RC-1
Configuration file Protected
Database schema Up to date
File system Writable (public download method)
GD library 2.0 or higher
MySQL database 5.0.26
PHP 5.2.0
Unicode library Standard PHP
Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support.
Web server Apache
Unable to determine your web server type and version. Drupal might not work properly.
========================================
I determined that my apache version is 2.2.3

Thanks in advance for the help...

I also ran this under php 4.4.4 without noticing any change...

It looks like the path to the color style sheet is being generated incorrectly:

here is some source from a page on my site:

@import "/modules/book/book.css";@import "/modules/node/node.css";@import "/modules/system/admin.css";@import "/modules/system/defaults.css";@import "/modules/system/system.css";@import "/modules/user/user.css";@import "/sites/ayurvedichealers.net/themes/garland/minnelli/../color/preview.css";@import "/sites/ayurvedichealers.net/themes/garland/minnelli/style.css";@import "//home/mhreynol/www/drupal/sites/ayurvedichealers.net/files/color/minnelli-c448fcb4/style.css";

the last line looks to me like it should be a relative path, beginning with /sites. if i hard code it into page.tpl.php it displays the changed colors, of course it only works once...

I see this also, with the released version of 5.0 w/ multiple sites

I did not have this problem when the files directory was under drupal root folder,
now I try to use files folder under sites folder and I too see this issue.

I think I found it....

ON THE FILE FOLDER LOCATION
make it relative

for example if it was
/var/www/drupal/sites/www.mysite.com/files

Enter setting for files folder location as
sites/www.mysite.com/files

NOT
files, nor /var/www/drupal/sites/www.mysite.com/files, nor /sites/www.mysite.com/files

Any news??

I forget but this may be an issue that can be closed....

I think it was the "private" or "public" file setting, which is a known thing, have to be not private to save colors...

Considering the time elapsed between now and the last comment plus the fact that D5 is no longer supported, I am closing this ticket.
