ccs and js not rendering only html
Posted: 2020-10-04 23:15
Hi there, I'm a newbie and I'm studying web dev and design.
Pardon me if this has already been answered but I was not able to find the solution here so far. I have spent so many precious hours searching and trying what I could understand but now I think I need pro help. It's my first time using FiIeZilla and I could be doing something stupidly wrong!
1-I have successfully connected to the college server and transferred the web files.
2- when I copy the URL to the clipboard and check the site only HTML renders.
3-The files are in the right html_public directory and they are all under the same folder. The images, css and js are in their own subfolders but still within the same directory as HTML.
4-The HTML code is pointing at the right place: e.g. css/style.css, etc. I thought it could be the folder level and I changed them at different times to root "/" and at another time, one level up "../" - even if it didn't make sense to do it, because the site renders correctly from my local pc using the current hierachy. This didn't work so I changed them back but I have not touched the code otherwise so it shouldn't be case-sensitive issue.
5-I noticed the size of the files had changed after trasferring so I change the Transfer to Binary as advised by Boco to someone else, this worked for the size but had no effect on the rendering.
6-I changed all file permissions to be 777 - no joy here.
7-Only now it occurred to me to inspect the site in the console and it shows that the css, js, and images files cannot be found - but I can see them in the window pane of the remote server in Filezilla.
8- I tried taking the files out of the subfolders and have them all sitting "bare" in the directory as well, and this didn't work either
What am I doing wrong? (btw, I cannot change to connection to Active because I don't have the IP address for the college server or at least, it looks that way)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
