When I upgrade from Mint 2.02 to 2.03 all of the page styles disappear. All I see on the Mint page at digitalovertone.com/mint is text. Any thoughts? I followed the instructions in the readme file, and cleared my browser cache.
(I have reverted to 2.02 for the time being, but can re-upgrade to 2.03 very easily if necessary)
Did you upload the /styles/ folder to the Mint root?
You must have missed this step in the readme.
That would appear to have been the case. Many sheepish thanks!
Well I can’t see my styles either. I have installed it all twice now making sure no step is missed. I have cleared my cache, restarted Safari. No joy.
Really annoying.
Nick, your using Mint v2.03 and when visiting the below you see the default style sheet?

Were your using a custom style before upgrading?
Nick, your Mint login page appears to be styled correctly. Have you checked in another browser? Is there any chance that your ISP is caching the style sheet?
If you follow the current update directions your styles will dissapear. You must upload the “styles” folder into your mint directory as well. Then refresh your page. It seemed to work fine for me.
It would be less confusing if the “update from version 2” portion of the README included a step to update the styles folder.
Ryan, line 63 of the Readme.txt file, under the heading Update from a previous version of Mint 2:
Also upload the new /styles/ directory and index.php
It works now. I did all this and that twice.
I was using Massive Blue for my styles and when I checked my source it was looking for that stylesheet which had vanished. So by uploading that again it kickstarted the styles and now I can change between the default two, which before I was unable to do, even though the options were there it made no difference.
Strange one, but were all happy now.
Sorry, I didn’t see that.
Just a question…is there any way to have mint automatically update? It just seems like a hassle to have to mess around with all these file transfers and renaming every time we upgrade. Not that I’m complaining, I’m just wondering if there is a better way?
Nope, there are too many varying server configurations, mis-configurations, security restrictions and potential permission problems to reliably enable true auto-updating. I spent a month looking into something that would be acceptable for the majority of Mint users and its not possible given Mint’s existing lenient server requirements.
