Magento

The url is almost correct (the 0 after minify should be a timestamp). What happens if you paste this into your address bar?

What paths do you see for images? Also in your Magento backend do you use http://127.0.0.1/magento as your Base Url?

if I paste it in the adress bar, I get the css, just like you said it’s supposed to be.
I have http://127.0.0.1/magento as base url in the backend.

Is this because I’m testing on local ?

Look through the actual css code to find the path information for the images. They get rewritten from relative to absolute paths so something might not work as expected here.

My SpeedSter is not working:

Magento is installed on root directory:

http://mercadoempresarial.com.mx/

My .htaccess file was edited like this:

When I try the troubleshooting steps I can view:

http://mercadoempresarial.com.mx/lib/minify/m.php?f=/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css

But not:

http://mercadoempresarial.com.mx/minify/1232681243/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css

And there is nothing inside var/minifycache/

However, the links for js and css files are correctly generated, althought it’s missing one CSS (is it ok?)

Hi mencargo,

it seems that the rewriteRule is not working as expected on your setup. Can you please verify that it reads

Your post contains a ; where it should be a =

Also if this steps work:
http://mercadoempresarial.com.mx/lib/minify/m.php?f=/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css

You should see files written to /var/minifycache/ . So make sure that the permissions for this folder is correct as well.

Sorry, the forum adds a ; before = (there’s a ; extra in your code too)
I don’t know why, anyway, the rule is exactly as the extension install states, I just copy + paste
I have 777 at var/minifycache and 755 at lib/minify/m.php (and the folder).

I have also tried with a rule from older version:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/30357/

No results.
I don’t know if it helps, but the file it gives me when I try step 2, is m.php.css
And the url from next step gives me not found error.
I use mod_php in apache2, with apc.

can you explain where you get m.php.css ? that sounds odd.

Also you might need to set /var/minifycache to 775

Changed /var/minifycache to 775.
min.php.css is the file that google chrom saves when trying:
http://mercadoempresarial.com.mx/lib/minify/m.php?f=/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css
But it’s ok, I just tested in firefox and it displays it, as your troubleshot guide says, with valid css.
Still nothing saved at minifycache
:S

hey mencargo, don’t have any more ideas at this stage. You could try downloading minify directly from here: http://code.google.com/p/minify/

It has a couple of unit tests included to run tests on your environments. Hope that helps.

I have the same problem as mencargo,

I followed the instruction and I can’t have the step 3 to work ...

i can see

http://mywebsite.com/lib/minify/m.php?f=/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css

But not:

http://mywebsite.com/minify/1232681243/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css

You can’t help us fooman?

I have a new install, so it’s Magento 1.3.0 with the latest Speedster, maybe there’s a incompatibility issue, or something changed at RewriteRules with 1.3.0?
Anyway, I was testing with Apache2-mpm-prefork + PHP5 + APC, now I will testt with Nginx + FastCGI + APC.
So, if it had something to do with permissions at mod_php it should work with FastCGI.
I’ll post my results later
What version of Magento ar you using yecine06?

At the moment I don’t have any other idea than posted above - there are just too many possible configurations. Maybe try disabling APC to see if this causes the problem.

Hi FOOMAN,

i have the same problem like loic. The rewritten paths for images are wrong, they are now like: “url(/skin/frontend/..)”
i tried to fix this with

but that has no result.

@ mrmiagi
I had that problem on local site only. When I put it to my server, and installed speedster the problem was gone.

Magento 1.3.1 with a custom theme(so not default).
When i install through Magento connect it actually installs.
But the frontend just loses all of its looks, its just text thats left nothing more, no graphics.
