I have read and followed the following links

http://drupal.org/node/457390
http://drupal.org/node/91335

I have tried some of the things that people did but I still have not found a solution that works for me. I would like to know if anyone who is using Drupal 7 has the same problem as me.

Once you load the theme to /sites/all/theme/zen (I have also tried renaming the folder with no luck), and enable the theme in the admin panel. No styling and no images are showing up.

more suggestions are greatly appreciated

The links that I provided are for Drupal 6. I was wondering any body out there have a solution that works for Drupal 7.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm having this problem as well---the renaming outlined for drupal 6 doesn't work completely. Some of the stylesheets show up, but not all. If I try to go to admin/appearance/settings/zen, it reroutes me to the SiteZen builder.

I don't have a hosting provider that has SiteZen, so I can't test, but I've updated the documentation at http://drupal.org/node/457390

You should only have to rename the folder from "zen" to "Zen". Nothing else needs to be changed because the broken apache directives used by SiteZen are mistakenly looking for a folder named "zen" or "zen0", "zen1", etc. Because Linux machines are case sensitive, renaming the "zen" folder to "Zen" fixes the problem.

The "zen-internals" folder name does not match the Apache directive, so it shouldn't need to be renamed.

hmm… Maybe you need to rename the zen.info file to Zen.info? (And then flush the cache.)

That should make the path to the appearance page's settings to admin/appearance/settings/Zen which shouldn't be affected by SiteZen's fubared apache config.

Can someone test?

I'm no expert, but wouldn't a bit of tweaking to the .htaccess file stop the SiteZen nonsense?

Karunasiddhi, the problem is that the apache directives are applied by the hosting company and they don't want to tweak code they've been given by SiteZen, because… well, because they are CHEAP hosting providers.

I can't figure out what .htaccess directives would be needed to override the ones the hosting company is using. But would love someone to figure it out!
