Smooth install ... Odd behavior in admin interface
Greetings,
I installed the latest version of TXP with no problems. I renamed the unzipped textpattern-4.0.5 to blog, as that is my intended use for TXP and uploaded it, followed the directions and everything was smooth, until I logged in. In the admin, none of the graphics for TXP itself were there. It was as if the styling had been stripped away and just the text was left. The program itself is functional except for when clicking on images tab under content which produces this error message:
Warning: Unexpected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/content/P/a/t/Patrickwc3966/html/blog/textpattern/lib/class.thumb.php on line 269
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/content/P/a/t/Patrickwc3966/html/blog/textpattern/lib/class.thumb.php on line 269
From what I can tell, the textpattern.css file looks fine and is in the textpattern directory, so I am puzzled by the lack of graphics. Could this be a bad install, or did changing the textpattern-4.0.5 folder name to blog possibly create this? Any feedback would be appreciated and welcome.

Re: Smooth install ... Odd behavior in admin interface
this is what i see when i view the source of your admin login page:
<link href=”../../../../../../../../unzipped/textpattern-4.0.5/blog/textpattern/lib/textpattern.css” rel=“Stylesheet” type=“text/css” />
i also see this : <img src=”../../../../../../../../unzipped/textpattern-4.0.5/blog/textpattern/lib/txp_img/textpattern.gif” alt=“textpattern” />
definitely shouldn’t have all of those slashes nor does the txp_img directory reside in the /lib directory.
so yah something is definitely up with your paths. you should have been able to upload textpattern straight into the /blog directory without having to rename anything. looks like something went awry during the renaming/upload process.

Diagnostic results?

Re: Smooth install ... Odd behavior in admin interface
I appreciate both iblastoff and Mary checking this issue for me. It never occurred to me to check the diagnostic feature in TXP. Upon taking Mary’s suggestion and looking at the diagnostics, it was apparent that the install had a gliche and caused an error that was very apparent when viewing the source code as iblastoff pointed out. I have done a complete reinstall, putting TXP in my blog directory without renaming anything and all seems to be working fine. Thanks again for the quick troubleshoot by both iblastoff and Mary.
Regards,
Patrick
