Unable to apply themes
hajinango - July 10, 2008 - 06:16
I'm new to drupal and I can't change themes on my new site. I get the following error:
warning: file_get_contents(http://site.com/?q=themes/bluemarine/style.css) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home1/site/public_html/modules/style_settings/style_settings.module on line 31.
Am I missing something or did I forget to set some basic configuration?
Thanks
Welcome hajinango, to the
Welcome hajinango, to the Drupal community!
As for your problem, why are you using the Style (CSS) Settings module? Just curious. If you want to modify your theme css stylesheets, you don't need that module. You can do that from your theme directory. For example, if you are using Garland, you can find your stylesheet in the "/themes/garland" directory. You can disable the Style CSS Settings module if that is what you intended to use it for, to modify your stylesheet.
If you want to add a theme to your site, you can download Drupal themes here. Be sure to save your theme inside:
sites/all/themes OR
sites/www.yourSite.com/themes
To change themes, go to the themes settings (site.com/admin/build/themes) section and choose the theme you want.
Here are some pages I would encourage you to read to help you get started and learn more about Drupal and themeing: TroubleShooting Drupal & Drupal 6 Theming Guide. The last reference is rather complex for beginners but it has some great graphics and explains details about Drupal Theming.
Once you are on your way to building your Drupal site checkout the Drupal Beyond the Basics page. This section provides tons of tips, snippets, and recipes to help build your Drupal site - quicker.
I am not sure if you are aware of all the support channels Drupal uses. Here are Drupal Support options as well.
Thanks for posting and I wish you the best with your new Drupal site!
