I can not change the color of any theme. If I do so, and I refresh, there is no theme at all any more. Just an unsorted white page (without css). Not really how I want it.

I created my website on my own server, everything worked fine. I copied everything to my permanent host, but probably he restricts me in something. (host: one.com)
Is there a way to solve this problem/bypass the color module and manually insert your chosen colors? If I edit the original template csses I can't seem to find all color settings, and some color settings are based on calculations I guess, which I of course not know.

Does anyone know what I should do to give my template the color I want it to be?

The changed css, with computed color values, is stored on your server. If I'm not mistaken, the path is /sites/default/files/css or /files/css. Make sure that the right permissions are set on this folder, so Drupal can write the new css file.

I believe you also have to have

Administer >>Site Configuration>> File SYSTEM

set to
public download method

the settings for my theme are located at files/color/

Thanks for your replies!

However, I changed the chmod setings of the files/color folder to 777, but that did not work :(

If I change the theme color drupal says:

De map sites/default/files/color/garland-e4b510ce is aangemaakt.
Which literally translated means: The folder sites/defaultblabla/ is created.

But if I browse to there, there is no folder. nor a file or whatever. While I am sure the chmod IS 777 now :/

Also, logically seen, wouldn't those files have been copied from my old server when I moved them? But they did not/are deleted, because from the moment I viewed the site on the new host there was no template any more. And I could only solve the problem by resetting the color :/

The folder files/color is not the same as sites/default/files/color. Can you try to chmod sites/default/files and all of it's sub folders to 777?

Sorry for being unclear, I ment that. I did chmod sites/default/files/ and since I dont know how to automatically chmod subfolders too (in total commander) I have manually chmodded sites/default/files/color and all other files and folders within /files and even the folder and files containing the actual template to 777.

But that did not help me :(
(before they were on 755)

At the end I want to use pixture, but also with the standard theme Garland I can not change any colors or the screen gets unsorted. In both templates I can use the standard colors perfectly.

I use Pixture_reloaded

I have public download

When i edit the style.css and associated theme images they get copied to files/color

BUT you have to go to theme and save configuration to make it happen, i found that after not seeing changes happening.

If your doing all that , then i am at a loss :)

Do you mean pressing the save button at the bottom of the page where you modify the colors?
Of course I did do that.

Yes that was it. I didnt realise at first that when i changed the style.css that i needed to do it. I spent ages trying to understand why my css wasn't working :)

You can adjust via Chmod.

You can not perform CHMOD, because of our server settings.

You can do it through PHP. Create a text file with the name
chmod.php.

In this file put the following text:

<?
chmod ( "/customers/mydomain.com/mydomain.com/httpd.www/adjustname.
php ", 0444);
echo "chmod for $filename was changed";
>

Change adjustname.php to the file whose CHMOD
must be changed and replace with mydomain.com your own domain. Add folders if necessary, between. Www/ and $filename.

Save the textfile with the above text on your web space.

Open this file in your browser.

After that all should be ok.

If you only want to adept a folder name, the following sufficient:

<? php
chmod ( "adjustmapname, 0444);
echo "Done!"
>

e-mail or online chat at our website.
