    Hi,
    after many troubles with my past provider, I wasn't able to install omeka, so I switched to dreamhost (as recommended on omeka's web-site).

    I switched to php5.2, what seems to be the most issue that people had.

    I run the installation, which finished smoothly.

    Then the problem:

    The whole site is just blank when I call it. When I look into the [view source], it shows the following:
    href="http://www.moonstories.org/omeka/themes/default/css/screen.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="Error:Could not find file 'css/print.css'!

    This is exactly the same error I got from my prior installations at other servers...

    What could I possible be doing wrong.
    thanks

    Hi Johannes,

    It seems that you don't have a print.css file in omeka/themes/default/css. You can do a few things:

    1) Create a print.css file (leave it blank if you want, or add styles to it) in omeka/themes/default/css.
    2) Remove the line for the print stylesheet in themes/default/common/header.php
    3) Try switching to a different theme, like Minimalist (or download one from our themes list) and see if you get the same error.

    If you do have a print.css file in omeka/themes/default/css, there something else is wrong. If that's the case, let us know.

    Hope this helps!

    I added the print.css manually. Both in the default theme and the admin default theme.
    Apparently my FTP did not transfer files with 0B (on Mac I used Cyberduck).
    This solved the whole issue....

    Thank you very much for the help.
