Can't change css

Permalink
Hi,

I am new to C5 and am having some difficulties to begin with. I am using 5.7 and developing the Fruitful theme. I like the interface and the ease of creating/ changing blocks but when it comes to making css changes I can't get it to work.
This theme has a igotStyle.less file which as far I can tell has the css I need to edit. Now when I made changes the changes did not show in the browser.

Of course I cleared the cache of my browser (chrome), and checked in firefox,
I tried turning off all cache in the c5 settings area, but this gave me the "Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted" error. - (which I am concerned about, this is only a simple site). Now I am left with a white screen as none of the above worked.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Oliver

It looks like what happened is your CSS file was cached and when you went to turn the cache off the server ran out of memory before it cleared everything and now your less file can't be loaded properly.

Can you get into the Dashboard -> System & Settings - > Clear Cache and try to clear the cache, and if the is successful try turning the cache off again. If it is not successful you might need to log in to your server and delete all the files in the /application/files/cache folder (files and directories).

Thank you for your reply. I have tried emptying the cache folder and I still get a blank screen. My memory limit is on 128MB. Can you think of any other possible causes? Thank you.

Does anything load if you go tohttp://yoursite.com/dashboard?

If you can login and get to the dashboard make sure that Under System & Settings -> Debug Settings you have Output error information to site users checked and Show the debug error output selected. Then go through the Dashboard and make sure the cache is turned off and try the Clear Cache button again.

If you still can't get to your homepage try removing all your changes from the .less file and see if the site comes up then.

Thanks again for your reply. No I couldn't see the dashboard I got the same white screen. I am going to try 5.6 with a different theme. However, like last time I am having various issues installing on my server Ipage, this time I get a different error message to when I installed 5.7. Very frustrating for a simple site.

this is the error I get installing 5.6.3.2

mysqlt error: [1048: Column 'uID' cannot be null] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO Config (cfKey,cfValue,uID) VALUES ('NEWSFLOW_LAST_VIEWED','FIRSTRUN',NULL)")

So the only files in your web directory are your concrete 5.6.3.2 files and you are starting with a completely fresh new empty database and you're getting this?

yes, I deleted the old site. I tried to install 5.6.3.2 with no content.

Is this a site you are developing locally or on a hosted server?
OJBConcrete replied on at Permalink Reply
It is hosted by Ipage remotely

I can't find a true "solution" in the forums for this, but if you download concrete 5.6.3 and try to install that with a clean directory and database does it do the same thing?
OJBConcrete replied on at Permalink Reply
I'll just keep trying but it is happening with 5.6.3 as well. Now ipage won't let me drop a database. Nothing works.

Right I tried 5.6.3 and got it working. However I didn't like the layout so I am back with 5.7.3.1.

I am now using Elemental. Everything works fine, then I try to turn off all the caches in settings and I get the follwing error;

An exception occurred while executing 'SELECT TABLE_NAME AS `Table`, NON_UNIQUE AS Non_Unique, INDEX_NAME AS Key_name, SEQ_IN_INDEX AS Seq_in_index, COLUMN_NAME AS Column_Name, COLLATION AS Collation, CARDINALITY AS Cardinality, SUB_PART AS Sub_Part, PACKED AS Packed, NULLABLE AS `Null`, INDEX_TYPE AS Index_Type, COMMENT AS Comment FROM information_schema.STATISTICS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'CollectionVersions' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'starkids_data'': SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1226 User 'starkids_101' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 75000)

Any ideas?

I changed the cache control settings on Ipage and turned off all cache, I no longer get error messages when changing cache settings in C5.

I am facing similar issues and iPage support guys are suggesting me to buy additional queries as their bare minimum queries for the users are 75000 and C5 is apparently taking more than that (and I wonder why!?). What is the version of C5 taking less queries anyone?

I reckon, I am fallen in the trap of iPage and bought 3 year plan.
