Lost Theme and formatting of pages from trying to fix my inability to add Dashlets

I really like the concept with Suite CRM, but I’m having a lot of trouble.

I wasn’t able to add Dashlets (for example, I would click on Calendar and it just sat there). So I went into the forums to seek an answer.

I found some answers that included changing file permissions, but after trying to make that happen, the entire site broke. I then changed back most of the file settings to 774 (maybe more than I should). The site is “working”, but I lost most of the formatting, especially the top toolbar.

I would start over, but I’m hoping to fix the site because I’ve created many custom fields and added many leads etc… (unless I can export custom fields and data into a new build).

Here are some of the latest error log entries. Any help is greatly appreciated

Looking at these it looks like you still have permission issues.

the permissions should be

sudo chmod -R 755 .

sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload config_override.php

then ownership which could cause problems also but this depends on the server setup.
