WampServer

Hi - just switched from standalone Apache/MySQL to wampserver 2.2 (plus to new machine running W8)

My Drupal development site I downloaded into subfolder at c:/wamp/www/xxxxxxx

I have mod_rewrite turned on.

Problem: when I access the site under wamp I only get a text only version! (using webdeveloper I can see that the css files are initially being accessed (Embedded CSS from [127.0.0.1]), but the following list of files are typically..[xxxxxxx] with no content .. accessing this file directly shows the css!

pulling my hair out on this one, any one help?

1. What's the exact URL in the browser when you see the text only version?

2. View the source in he browser. What's the line of code for the CSS include?

I'm finding WAMP really slow .. so have tried both localhost and 127.0.0.1 - both give same result so here's what I see with 127:

1. [127.0.0.1]

2. first line only, all others same addressing:
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import url("[infoloko];


WAMP installation is at c:/wamp with my site in c:/wamp/www/infoloko/

sorry didn't realise the forum software modified content - in the following replace # with /

1. http:##127.0.0.1#infoloko#

2. first line only, all others same addressing:
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import url("http:##infoloko#modules#system#system.base.css?mk4eq8" -- there's a closing bracket and semicolon but that shows here as a smiley!

can anyone help me please.
TIA

I am just checking here.

You do know that you are trying to import from the live website and not your localhost site dont you. Would the trip to the live server to get the stylesheet explain your speed issue?

Also using @import does not wait for the load to complete before stating to paint the page and therefore can cause a double take as it styles the page after it has already painted without any css being applied.

whoa!

Blindingly obvious but I hadn't spotted that .. will investigate further.

using @import .. this is drupal code so I have no control over it's use.

Thanks for the input
