New user/New install: Themes don't work, URL settings set to "127.0.0.1"

[SeniorSausages]

Hi

I am a pro sysadmin who just installed SMF for the first time. I am a long-time PHPBB admin.

After installing, I appear to have the same problem that this guy had:

My symptoms were that after installing, HTML was loading, but no images or CSS/themes loaded.

I had to use the repair_settings.php file to fix this.

I had the following notable errors show to me:

Queryless URLs: Value not found!

Something is super messed up with your installer. Please don't blame the user here.

we know there is an issue with the installer. it has been fixed in 2.1 and not yet back ported to 2.0. running repair_settings.php fixes the issue.

not finding a value for queryless URL's is not an issue.

Well, first of all, I take umbrage at your assumption that we would immediately "blame the user". We don't do that, except in cases where it is clearly a user error.

Second, if you had bothered to use search, as a "pro" should know to do, you would have noticed that this question has already been noticed and that we have already answered how to address the issue.

Third, while there is indeed something a little wrong in the installer, it is not "super wrong" - the issue only occurs on a specific combination of server softwares...
