Can anyone explain why I am seeing a complete lack of CSS styles and missing thumbnails on my live server (see attached photo), even though everything works fine on my dev system?
If you double click on where a photo thumbnail should display, it populates the CKEditor dialog with the correct URL. If you right click on where an thumbnail should be, and choose 'View' it shows the full size photo just fine. So, path settings are OK. But why aren't the thumbnails showing (yes, I can see them in the _thumbs directory created by CKFinder) And where has the CSS styling for the CKFinder dialog gone?!
Looks like a permission problem to be - and I've set everything in the ckfinder directory to 755, but no change.
Thank you.

Re: Complete loss of styles and thumbnail images
Use Tamper Data addon, Fiddler or even Firebug to trace HTTP requests. Check for 404, 403 and similar HTTP error codes that can lead you to the solution of the problems you have experienced.
Apart from permissions, the source of the problem might be also in invalid mod_rewrite rule that is redirecting selected requests into the wrong place, enabling server side engine on files where it should be disabled (like CSS files) and things like that.
