Styles error on fresh install

[denise]

So, after trying to get things working under OSX and failing horribly, I installed the code on an Ubuntu VM locally so I could hack without internet. Everything's going well enough so far, except that I had a mistake in my $LJHOME when I first ran update-db.pl (I had it as /home/dw/ instead of /home/dw). I corrected it later, but now all the styles are kind of fucked. When I visit /customize, it gives me this error:

[Error: You cannot use this theme. at /home/dw//cgi-bin/LJ/Customize.pm line 58. @ dev-dw]

After fixing the path error in $LJHOME, I tried deleting all the styles from the DB and re-ran update-db.pl -p, which at least forced all the styles to recompile, but that didn't make the error go away. I also tried changing the theme_preview_styleid userprop using /admin/propedit, but no dice.

Anybody have any further thoughts? If things are really fucked I can drop the entire dw database table and start over, but if somebody knows of anything quicker than that, that'd be great.

Okay, I cleared everything out, changed the path of $LJHOME from /home/dw to /home/dw/dw (on the theory that would show me if there were really a problem or if something wasn't getting updated), and I'm still getting:

[Error: You cannot use this theme. at /home/dw/dw/cgi-bin/LJ/Customize.pm line 58. @ dev-dw]

I think something's more widely broken? Has anyone tried to make a dreamhack since styles were moved?


EDIT: Yup, something was more widely broken. And I fixed it! \o/

Very nice detective work there! I hadn't realised this would even be an issue.

Grepping for "s2layers" and ignoring the results talking about the database shows that bin/dev/newtheme.pl may also need updating, but this is less urgent since it's just explanatory text.

I'm sending off an email to everybody who I set 'hacks up for from the 14th onwards to let them know about this bug. Thanks! :D
