Front end not loading CSS

[nicero]

I recently installed for the first time PrestaShop latest version (1.6.1.1) in a subdirectory (/prestashop/) in my VPS. As soon as I uploaded all PrestaShop files I modified owner and permissions of files and directories:

 

chown -R www-data:www-data prestashop

 

find prestashop -type d -exec chmod 777 {} +

 

find prestashop -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +

 

but I noticed that the front end did not load CSSes files so it shows up not formatted.

 

I thought that this was due to some path problems so I checked URLs and paths but URI in Preferences -> URL and SEO is set as:

base_URI: /prestashop/

I start looking around and I read that the problem may be due to an active SSL on a non-SSL CDN, but SSL di disabled. But nothing up to now fixed the problem.

 

I did not change any .htaccess.

 

 

Thank you for any help.

Would you have an URL where we could check ?

Thank you for answering.

Do you have this folder /prestashop/themes/default-bootstrap ?

 

In fact, it seems that all your files send an error 500.

What kind of hosting do you have ?

It's a OpenVZ based VPS. I may configure it as I like if you think that there's something wrong. But the admin back end works perfectly and my other two Wordpress web sites work. also. Any suggestion?

I looked at Apache's error.log file and it reported the following two errors:

/var/www/enrico.io/htdocs/prestashop/themes/.htaccess: Deny not allowed here, referer: http://www.enrico.io/prestashop/
/var/www/enrico.io/htdocs/prestashop/modules/.htaccess: Deny not allowed here, referer: http://www.enrico.io/prestashop/

The .htaccess files in "modules" and "themes" is the same:

<FilesMatch "\.tpl$">
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

I commented the "deny" line from both the files and the template loaded correctly. I then looked around about this issue and found it was reported here. I followed the suggestion by changing the .htaccess to:

<FilesMatch "\.tpl$">
    Require all denied
</FilesMatch>

but it didn't work, and the error was again (this time with "require"):

/var/www/enrico.io/htdocs/prestashop/modules/.htaccess: Require not allowed here, referer: http://www.enrico.io/prestashop/
/var/www/enrico.io/htdocs/prestashop/modules/.htaccess: Require not allowed here, referer: http://www.enrico.io/prestashop/

so I simply commented the "deny" line again.
