After installing, images and stylesheets do not load; only text displays, no graphics

After installing, images and stylesheets do not load; only text displays, no graphics

Details

The path to images and stylesheets is not correct, either because of an incorrect base URL or because server rewrites (CentOS, Ubuntu) are not set up properly. To confirm this is the case, use a web browser inspector to check the paths to static assets and verify those assets are located on the Magento file system.

Magento static assets should be located under <your Magento install dir>/pub/static/ (there should be frontend and adminhtml directories).

Solution

• Verify your server rewrites setting and your Magento server鈥檚 base URL and try again. If you set up the AllowOverride directive incorrectly, static files aren鈥檛 served from the correct location.

• If the Magento application is in production mode, try deploying static view files using the command magento setup:static-content:deploy.
