weird install issue

[Oli-D]

Hi,

I went to Eleven 2 yesterday for my web hosting.

I had already installed 2 pixelpost 1.7.1 installs on my home pc so thought this would be simple - it was except for a problem with the templates:

I uploaded my custom template and, although it was selectable from my pixelpost admin on Eleven 2, when i selected it and pressed update, i got a file not found message. This was the same when trying to select the other default install template.

I was expecting to be posting a message here asking if there are any gotchas for doing a full uninstall/install in case something had got corrupted during my install. However, i logged onto the pixelpost admin this morning to remember what the error message was and it now all works perfectly.

Now, i'm certainly not complaining (i'm well impressed with the speed and ease of setup on Eleven 2), but (being new to website hosting) i'm intrigued as to is there a reason for this happening or was this just some gremlin in the system that bit the dust overnight ?

cheers
Oli.

probable reason #1
You hadn't set your correct URL in Admin Options

probable reason #2
It was a cookie issue
