Question

I have a site set up with drupal, everything going fine. I then added a subdomain, and that too was fine until I went to enable a custom theme that was under the sites/all/themes folder. The theme does not show properly in the admin panel (no thumbnail), and when activated, the site appears to have no structure at all.

The theme I am trying to use works flawlessly on my other sites, so the theme itself is not a problem. I noticed the same happens with modules under that all/ folder. It is able to use anything under the root themes and modules folder however.

So something is preventing it from properly loading/reading the sites/all/ folder. Dumping everything into the core folder is not ideal of course, but I can t figure out the problem.

Edit: RESOLVED! Somehow an htaccess file got into the sites folder with a redirect in it. Causing just the subdomain to not see the subfolders properly, only root.

If the themes and modules under sites/all are unavailable for both sites - the main site and your subdomain - then the problem may be around accessibility of the folder.

Regardless of the user account you use to access the site, it s almost certain that the website server itself (whether Apache, IIS or Xyz) runs as a different account. If that account doesn t have rights to scan for, and read, files under sites/all then they won t show up.

Compare the permissions (and user/group details, if running on a Unix server) between your regular modules directory and sites/all to find any differences, and fix any you find.
