Thread:Project:Support desk/New installed MediaWiki looks "a little weird" - no images at all only text and links/reply (3)

MrMonster911: Try using the official version from this website instead of the debian version. The debian package used to be really broken way long ago. My understanding is that its much better now, but nonetheless I highly reccomend using the official version instead.

As for load.php - its new since 1.17. Versions of MediaWiki before that won't have it (and that's normal). Instead css files are loaded directly from skins directory.

>I'm hoping someone could give me some pointers, if nothing else then point me to what I might do to further troubleshoot this issue?

Look in your apache error log for things that aren't 200 status code, and look like they correspond to mediawiki trying to fetch styles. Get firebug and look in its net console for things with weird error codes.
