I can't enable the xtemplate or other template. Although I can select the radio button for 'default', when I check the enable box, then save changes, it doesen't save changes. Only the themes settings page reflects the changes. Other pages on the site show no stylesheet, just bare content.

I have reinstalled theme folders and completely reinstalled drupal, keeping the original database but got the same issue. This is the cvs version. Although in the process of troubleshooting, I am now using the theme folder from 4.4 and the xtemplate hierarchy with that with the same issue. Help!

I'm having the same problem on a server running:

apache 1.3.31
MySQL 3.23.58
PHP 4.1.2
(mod_perl and mod_ssl happen to be installed too)

However, it works fine on a server with:

apache 1.3.31
MySQL 4.0.10-gamma
PHP 4.3.9
(mod_perl only)

I'm having all the same problems running this versions:

apache Version: 1.3.26-0woody5
mysql Version: 4.0.21-5.backports.org.1
php4 Version: 4:4.1.2-7.0.1
(tested with mod_ssl and without mod_ssl)

After installing libapache-mod-php4 Version: 4:4.3.9-1.dotdeb.3 everything works fine.

So it seems drupal 4.5 depends on php > 4.1.2 which I consider a bug.

New drupal (4.5) uses different apporaches for themeing. Read more about that in the handbooks.

And if this solved you problem, would you be so kind to report back that it helped? This will help others whom are looking for the same solution.

I did a clean install of 4.5 and had these problems.

Thanks,

I had everything going when suddenly the default themes stopped working. I have since installed interlace and box_grey which work fine but the ones that come with the original install are still corrupted in some manner. I can't even get a configure link to show. I am happy with the new themes but I would like to get the others working again.

The theme system has two new concepts. Be VERY aware of those. Both might be the cause of the trouble.

First of all: all theme logic is chached. If you had a bug, or otherwise strange setting, it will be chached. Simply chainging the files will not help, since the contents and PHP is still taken from the database.

Second: the old .theme stuff will not work, unless you have a pure PHPbased template such as chameleon. Xtemplate.theme will break you theme. That is because of the new concept of engines, templates and styles. Read about those in the handbooks first.

And if this solved you problem, would you be so kind to report back that it helped? This will help others whom are looking for the same solution.

I ran out of time o n this but I will check again. I am going to switch to a clean intstall of 4.5.1 and then experiment with the old 4.5.0 to see what happens.
