Site malfunction after Quickstart installation was created by Tommy Pettersen
Hi!
I have tried two installations with the quickstart but I get the same error. I am sure I have put all the right passwords etc. The front end displays without CSS, and the links don't work. Every link also comes up with the domain name repeated three times, when I manually remove the repetitions of the name, it just displays nothing.
Site name www.metatag.no

Regards

Hello Tommy,

From what I can see you entered www.metatag.no/ instead of metatag.no (with no trailing slash).
Without the http:// in front of your Live site URL Joomla! will look for a folder in your root path instead of a top level domain, that is why your files are not loading.

You can try with leaving the Live site URL blank (will work in most cases) or simply setting metatag.no as the URL.

Let me know if that did the trick.

Regards.

Hello!
I entered www.metatag.no in configuration.php, that did the trick:-)

Cheers
Tommy

But now I can't log in to the backend with the user/passwords I created. I also tried to reset the password, but didn't work. Any idea?

Regards
Tommy

There is an issue with your configuration, I tried with dummy user/pass and it keeps redirecting me to the index.

I suggest that you try a fresh install without adding anything to the Live site URL field.

UPDATE: I installed both J! 2.5 and 3.1.1 versions using the quickstart packages without a hassle. Both on a live server and localhost. If you are still having issues even after the fresh install you should contact your hosting provider for any possible server issues or misconfiguration.

There is some strange behavior going on with the template. First of all, it appears to be in offline mode, but it is set to be online. Second, I have the technology template chosen as the Standard template, but the Construction shows.

Have you also to change your default menu item. The current menu item now has assigned modules and the construction template assigned to it as well.

Go to your main menu and remove all the items that you do not need (for example all the items that belong to the construction and medical templates), then make the technology menu item the default one.

As for the update I posted that half an hour ago it is not yet "later this evening". I will notify you in this thread when the update is ready and uploaded.
