I am attempting to use the "default blue" theme rather than the default one which is green. I've been reading through the forums, and it seems as if you just change the folder name from "default" to "foo" and "default blue" to "default". When I do this, CS locks up, and Firefox produces the following error:

 

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. 

 

However, I've checked that it's setting the cookie, and it's working properly. Any thoughts?

No, you can't really do it that way.

CS Skins work in an inherited model, meaning all the required files are in the default folder, while files you want to override in the default are located in your specific skin folder (such as default blue). This works great if you'r allowing users to change there site theme through their profile.

However if you want to make "default blue" you default site theme, then what you should do is, backup your default folder first (so you can back out the changes if need be), then copy everything from "default blue" and overlay the contents of "default".

 Hope this helps.

Try opening your communityserver.config file and change the wwwStatus to wwwStatus = "Require"
