Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
Try these in the dummy CSS one at a time and see if it save-barfs (it’s a word) on either or both:
Test 1 (no quotes):
body {background-color: #00ff00;}Test 2 (double quotes):
p {font-family: "Times New Roman";}Offline

however there are 3 other stylesheets already attached form the development… IE8, IE7 and backup.
Does editing those cause the same error, or just the main style?

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
Tried either and both of those lines in the test stylesheet, all saved fine.
Editing the other stylesheets save-barfs with the same result as I posted previously… so not a 404 error, but TXP: Access not allowed

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
hmmm… I’ve tried copying and pasting the whole stylesheet into the test… same result… then removed about 2/3 of it and it saved. I don’t really understand how it can be a size issue though.

Pete, did you upgrade already? The file _to_4.5.7.php exists in the “update” folder (the only sub-sub-decimal place update file in the 4.5 branch), but is it also listed in the high diagnostics?

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
Though not the most elegant solution, I’ve had great success by emailing the offending content of the stylesheet / page / form / article to the host saying something along the lines of “this content trips your counter measures and I can’t save it in my CMS. Please tweak your rules.”
Lo and behold, they wrote back and apologised, relaxing the rules somewhat. The thread that led to this outcome started here if it offers anything over and above what you’ve tried already. Temporarily removing or renaming your .htaccess file can give insight into the real error thrown by the server before Txp gets awakened.

Mustn’t be the size. As gaekwad/Pete tried to test with you: It might be certain characters. Edit: Stef was faster.

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
The thing I don’t understand is that exactly the same stylesheet was fine with 4.5.5.
I’ve experimented further by removing the lines…
background-image:url(images/2.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position:top; background-size: 100%;
from the original… no joy…
However, if I copy the main stylesheet over to the test one bit by bit it saves… but only if those lines above are removed. This works until I get to about 3/4 of the stylesheet copied and then it results in the same error.
I am more than happy to send the stylesheet to my hosts to facilitate a solution… thanks Stef… and not just for that suggestion, I’ve used a few of your plugins, awesome work sir!

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
background-image:url(/images/71.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 96% 50%;
later on the stylesheet refuses to save until I remove the above code… seems to be some problem with how I do the bg images

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
specifically this line…
background-image:url(‘/images/71.png’);
in fact, specifically the phrase…
background-image
how odd!

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
yup, saving into the test stylesheet, if I remove all references to background-image it saves no problem.
As I said before, it’s odd that this is an issue in 4.5.7, but I will contact my hosts anyway and see if they can shed any light on it.
Thanks all.

Re: Styles won't update - gives 404 error on save
a new empty stylesheet…
.test {
background-image:
}
save-barfs,
.test {
background-image
}
saves without issue!
