[TYPO3-english] Backend has no css style, page is messed up

[Martin Mädler]

Hi,

are you sure that .htaccess files are allowed by your host? If not, 
that's probably where your styling problems are coming from.
Try to delete any .htaccess file (except for 
typo3/temp/compressor/.htaccess - this one has to be empty) and see if 
it works.

Another idea: Get the Firebug Extension for Firefox, activate it and 
switch to the Network tab. Then reload the page and look in the network 
list for failed http requests (css etc.). There is one column which 
shows the status return code.

Cheers
