Question

In my account on Dreamhost.com, my 4.0.1 installation was working OK, but sometimes when people would try to browse with Internet Explorer 6.0, the site would never render any pages. The "loading" symbol would appear forever.

So I decided to try and upgrade to TWiki 4.0.4 with the upgrade script. In the resulting website, I can't see any left bar, the top bar material appears at the bottom, and who else knows what's wrong. Whenever there is a Wiki link, a long parenthesized expression follows spelling out the link. I have no idea what's up with that.

You've changed enough of the pattern template that I'm completely lost trying to disentangle this.

When I try to edit a page, the textarea box does not show on the screen (in Firefox), but I can tell from the source code that it is present. The WYSWIG editor DOES work (to my amazement).

Here's the newly installed location:

Can you please advise me?

Here's the output from running the testenv. I don't think it is relevant.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

The problem is caused because the cascading style sheet files and icons are not installed with read permissions. It is fixed after changing permissions to add read rights for others for the css and icon files in the TWiki public directory.
