Hi I just installed PageBlaster and have a problem that the stylesheets aren't loaded on the page.

I had a look at an earlier thread with the same topic, and checked everything that has been said there, but still no luck. I have attached the debug file to this thread.

I run DNN 4.9.4 on my own VPS server.

Also I tried to use
<path pattern=".*" excludeFrom="MergeJS" />
<path pattern=".*" excludeFrom="MergeCSS" />
instead of the \.js$,\.css$ as currently in the config file. When I do this the website does not load at all and I get an error message straight away.

<excludePaths>
<path pattern="(/admin/|/host/)" excludeFrom="All" />
<path pattern="ctl[/=](edit|module|tab)" excludeFrom="Replacements" />
<path pattern="\.js$|\.css$|\.html$" excludeFrom="Replacements" />
<!--Comment or remove the next two exclude paths to further optimize DNN JS & CSS files -->
<path pattern="\.js$" excludeFrom="MergeJS" />
<path pattern="\.css$" excludeFrom="MergeCSS" />
<!--Uncomment the next line if you have trouble with post-backs or Ajax-->
<!--<path pattern="(Web|Script)Resource" excludeFrom="All" />-->
</excludePaths>

Did the other thread ever got solved and do you have any other ideas?

Thanks
Thomas

Hi I am also attaching the contents of the Cache directory.

Ok, I found a workaround in another thread by changing

MergeJS and MergeCss to All see below:

path pattern="\.css$" excludeFrom="All />
path pattern="\.js$" excludeFrom="All />

Have you found a solution to get the merge working though and why does the .* (see original post) cause an error?

Thomas

The pattern is a key on the list of exclude items so it causes an error if there are two patterns exactly alike.

I'll have a closer look at your attachments to see if I can figure out why the CSS isn't working, but what you can do to narrow it down is set the pattern to only exclude specific CSS files one at a time.

It may be an issue with the CSSMin operation because of a bad comment or missing syntax in one of the CSS files.
