After all that, it was a problem with DNS. I have multiple domain names all pointing to this site, and I changed the site ID to another one during the week. Problem is, there was a problem with my DNS records for the other domain and they were pointing elsewhere.

So, when I opened shitscared.net it opened the page, but then the site was looking for the themes at the other domain, which the DNS entry was wrong.

So, Kafkaesqui, you were spot on when you said the themes directory wasn’t accessable. Thanks again for the help.

Yes, I did get quite drunk too…. ??

Wouldn’t you know, it was working before and now it ain’t. Not happy….

Thanks for the tips Kafkaesqui. I’m confident the problem is not the client side, because I’ve tried it on a couple of systems.

The themes directory is accessible, but I’m not 100% sure how to check if WordPress is accessing it properly.

It’s not a problem with the WAN, because I’m having the same problem when opening the page over my LAN.

It’s not to do with the browser, because Firefox is coming up with the same crap as IE.

I’ve just about had enough and am going to get drunk, so I’ll have to have a look tomorrow. Any more ideas on what to check gratefully accepted.

I’m about ready to kill this thing. After I typed this post, it’s now working OK. It’s like it knew…. grrrrr

In case it happens again, can someone please let me know what they think would cause all the formatting to just drop like that? Also, when I clicked on the admin link, it just opened a blank page.

GITTY UP! It worked, I just had to give Write permissions to the IUSR account for that folder.

Thanks for the er, help…. ?? Hopefully this helps someone else.

OK, fixed the first problem so I’ll post the fix if someone else is having the same drama.
Open upload.php, find where it has (‘fileupload_realpath’).”/”. something.
Delete the “/”, and then make sure your path in Options has the final \ on it.
Now I’m getting
Couldn’t upload your file to c:/inetpub/wwwroot/wp-images/IMG_5987.JPG.
Which looks good, it’s probably something else I’ve ballsed up. Probably a permissions thing.

I’m having a similar problem, and nothing’s working for me. I’m running IIS6, and WordPress 1.5, latest PHP. I’m only new to this, and still finding my feet, but this has me stuffed. When I try to upload, I get:
Couldn’t upload your file to
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-images/IMG_5985.JPG. (ie. the last slash is the wrong way around)
When I tried the above fix, I just got Couldn’t upload your file to c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\wp-images/IMG_5985.JPG.

I’m stuffed, anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance.
