SOLVED Cant read css or any scripts in my webpage

Hi all,

I need your help, I have got a problem with reading my css files on my webpage as it have stop it working. Some idiots that I hired on freelancer, he have changed the whole things that make things stop working especially the files and folder permissions where I could not see the files and folders. I had asked him to fix it and he came to fixed it and got it working, but i cant read the css files. It was working fine before.

What he used in the putty commend:

Code:

chown -R myusername:myusername public_html

I can be able to get access to my website with no problem, but then I can't be able to read my css files after he made the changes. I have changed the public_html and files_backup folders permissions to 755, I can read my php and images files with no problem, but i cant read any of css files or any other scripts.

There is something wrong that prevent me from reading it.

Can you please help me how I can be able to read my css and other language files in my webpage??

If you can be able to help me to get it working again that would be great. I have learned my lesson in the hard way to never trust anyone whoever ask me for ssh or anything I will refuse and find someone else who I can trust.

 

Thanks for your quick reply, I have input both of them in the commend.

When I try it, I still cant be able to read my css, js or any language files.

Any idea??

 

Ok here it is:

Code:

# ls -al /home/<cpuser>/public_html/files_backup/style.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 <cpuser> <cpuser> 17565 Feb  5 16:37 /home/<cpuser>/public_html/files_backup/style.css


#ls -ald /home/<cpuser>
drwx--x--x 21 <cpuser> <cpuser> 4096 Feb  1 00:46 /home/<cpuser>


#ls -ald /home/<cpuser>/public_html
drwxr-xr-x 21 <cpuser> <cpuser> 4096 Feb  5 17:02 /home/<cpuser>/public_html

Can you please paste the code that I could use in the ssh terminal for the <cpuser>:nobody 750 and 755??

 

Here it is:

Code:

# ls -ald /home/<cpuser>/public_html/files_backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 <cpuser> <cpuser> 4096 Feb  5 16:37 /home/<cpuser>/public_html/files_backup

yes I can be able to access to the file directory but not the file. I cant read it.

 

There is no error when I go to http://example.tld/files_backup/style.css

Yes I am sure that my domain name is resolving to the account on my server as I can be able get access to my domain and my files.

I dont know how I can review the Apache error log to figure out why Apache is denying the permission. You will have to tell me how and where it is so i will report it back.

Yes I did give them my root access to fix my server and then here it is.

 

At all I can see is a blank screen when I try to read my css file.

 

I don't think so. Here is the htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

Just found the problem, there was a problem with htaccess.

I used this:

Code:

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

which it have stop me getting access to any files so i have removed it and now it is working again!

 

Thank you very much for this, I have copied and pasted by using the 3.5 version and it's working great again. Thank you!
