i've had it happen 3 times in a row now
i install drupal from scratch (after dumping the mysql database), login and customize.
everything looks nice in the default theme - then once i change the theme to something else, it breaks - see http://hurricane.wagner.nyu.edu
i feel like its having trouble finding the stylesheets due to some relative/absolute path problem. but not sure what is broken or how to fix it
please help!

just clicking into administer -> themes breaks themes
ok this is really annoying... just selecting the Adminster/Themes menu item breaks the templates as you can see now at http://hurricane.wagner.nyu.edu
everything else on this site is working perfectly, so i'm going to submit a bug report
when you say changed theme...
when you say changed theme.... Did you download and install a new theme? If so, which one. If you delete the (assumed) newly installed theme directory it should default back to bluebeach.
If you installed oh say, box_grey, then did you install the phpTemplate engine? If not, you need to do that.
All this is speculation until more information arrives.

Test site, always start with a test site.
Drupal Best Practices Guide
only using included themes
just changed to one of the 4 included in the drupal distribution - chameleon, bluemarine, etc.
also - weirdly enough, the theme still works on the Administer -> Theme page, but there and only there, and no where else on the site.
see issue report for some screenshots http://drupal.org/node/13037
i've been scrutinizing the source of the two pages for differences and can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong
more specifically
if you look at http://hurricane.wagner.nyu.edu you can see that parts of theme are active, but other parts are missing like the logo, title, secondary links bar, etc.
Ditto
I can reproduce this in 4.5.0 and cvs. I am supprised that this is not a major/widespread issue - perhaps this is a system issue that we have in common.
I am running drupal on:
Apache/1.3.23
PHP 4.1.0 (using php.ini as distributed with SuSE 8.0)
mysqld Ver 3.23.48 for suse-linux on i686
maybe?
i'm on
Debian 3.0 (Sarge)
Php 4.1.2
mysql 3.23.49
apache 1.3.26
how do we elevate this discussion to get the attention of people who can help fix it?
fixed - unknown system issue
well, you were right. i upgraded my Debian to "testing" (sarge), so now i'm running
Apache 2.0.52-3
php 4.3.9
mysql 4.0.22-2
and drupal themes are working properly now
go figure.
How did you fix it ?
I got the same annoying problem and I don't have any clue how to solve it.
I am running php 4.3.9 with mysql 4.1.10-standard on Linux.
Do you remember changing anything in the system table to make this bug dissapear ?
