I installed SMF 2.0.11 on a Raspberry Pi 3, using Nginx, PHP, and MySQL. The install went smoothly and everything installed without errors.
My problem is that when I launch the forum in my web browser, it is all in plain text mode. The links all work, but there is no theme even though I have specified one. Oddly, the whole setup looked normal and the setup theme displayed beautifully.
It seems like everything works, I can add users and create topics and posts, it is just that everything displays on one column of text.
I cannot seem to find a way to get the forum to load up in a graphical mode. Any ideas?
use What is repair_settings.php? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php) to fix your paths.
Okay, that did it!
Thank you for posting that link. I had read about the repair_settings.php file but could not actually find where to download it. This saved me a lot of work.
BTW, this runs great on a Raspberry Pi 3.
Thanks again for your help.
