    barnd new install had a lot of trouble….. uninstalled everything… i mean everything

    installed the xampp have apache and mysql loaded ( for now ) and then put in wordpress 2.9.2, it went in nice attached itself to mysql database and as happy as i can be i start to look through skins, found one great
    make a few catagories, add a post to make them viewable on the site, and a page changed not much and was very impressed…..

    asked a friend to view my quick load to make sure that it was working he says, white page …. its there but there is no theme.

  • domain hosted on xampp ? xampp has nothing to do with live sites… check with your webhost

    I am hosting it, at my house on my computer, through apache, mysql and php with wordpress. bought the domain and have dns pointed to my external ip then the firewall routs to this computer where apache is listning.
    xampp is just a package of software ( apache with php/etc, mysql , filezilla, murcury, etc…) its mentioned so that people will know the platform that it is running on. ( oh windows 7 and nothing is in the program files directory its got its on folder off the c:) set up xampp first built the databases second, then extracted wordpress (minus containing folder) to my web folder then created the wp-config.php and thats how I got here. everything works inside my lan as stated and looks beautiful. Its only those external viewers who are being robbed of its beauty

    some kind of routing issue? I’m not super familiar with self-hosting like that, but it seems to be an issue I’ve seen come up here before…

    If I view your source and check your urls, I can’t directly access your css sheet to look at it

    edited, my last post…. it was a rushed answer looking at the stylesheet right now.

    If you search on here (I know it can be hard to find stuff) I know I’ve recently (in the past month) seen 2 threads involving your exact issue. Site works fine internally, but no stylesheet externally. I remember at least one of them being resolved.

    Sorry I can’t be more help….hopefully that same helpful soul will stumble into this thread!

    I’m just wondering if somerthing needs changed in your general settings on WP?

    should actually point to:

    ??
    (just tested that link and I can see your css that way)
