CSS not loading on any machine

    I’m new to WordPress but I got everything up and running fine, made a great looking webpage, and then tried to access it from an external host (not the localhost) and it looks like the CSS stylesheet is not loading.

    After some searching I’ve tried the following things
    1. Turned firewall off (completely)

    2. Changing file permissions to 777 just to see if it would work which it didn’t so I changed everything back to the default 755 directories and 644 files.

    3. Adding “AddType text/css .css” (without the quotes) to the .htaccess file.

    4. Putting copies of this file in the root directory (/Sites were it is normally) and my local directory (/Sites/wordpress/).

    5. Multiple browsers (Safari, IE8, Firefox, etc… there are more) but all of them seem to be just show straight html with no CSS style.

    6. Also trying to navigate to any page other than the home page generates a “Could not open page because could not connect to the server” error. I’m thinking if I fix this problem the CSS problem will also be corrected.

    I just noticed the last problem so I will start trying to debug form that direction and see if I get it working from that end.

    Are you running WP on a local server? Did you set the site url to http://127.0.0.0? Remember – every machine considers that it is 127.0.0.0…

    Thanks esmi!

    I was on travel for work so I didn’t get back to this until today but fixing the site url cleared up my problem. I guess I didn’t get this at first because I thought if it wasn’t pointing to the right place I would never have seen the correct initial index.php file from a different machine.

    Thanks again!
