eZ Publish 4.2: Cached CSS Files not readable by the Browser

Hello,

i've just installed the new eZ Publish 4.2 with the eZ Website Interface in an VirtualHost on Apache 2.2.11 with PHP 5.2.6. The installation worked very well. No Problems.

After the installation i accessed the new site and saw that the site looks very strange:
http://ecantus.de/misc/ezprob1.png (Frontpage Screenshot)

After i took a look in the sourcecode, i saw that a cached stylesheet is not readable by the Browser and see the Error Page (kernel (20)) which tell me there is a Missing Module (var) if i try to open it directly. I suppose that's the Problem.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/var/ezwebin_site/cache/public/stylesheets/0e7b335dc5cb41df886bb97f1f059387_all.css" media="all" charset="utf-8" />

The stylesheet is available in the filesystem and should be readable:

root@srv1:/var/www/mysite.de/var/ezwebin_site/cache/public/stylesheets# ls -la
insgesamt 188
drwxrwxrwx 2 www-data www-data  4096 2009-10-02 04:32 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 www-data www-data  4096 2009-09-30 17:38 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 36541 2009-09-30 17:43 0e7b335dc5cb41df886bb97f1f059387_all.css

I tried to clear the cache and refreshed the page, but it didn't helped. Could it be an Apache Rewrite Issue? I'll post as a precaution my VirtualHost Setup here:

<VirtualHost mysite.de>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite.de
    ServerName mysite.de
    ServerAlias admin.mysite.de
    ServerAlias www.mysite.de

    <Directory /var/www/mysite.de>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

        RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L]
        # Uncomment the following lines when using popup style debug.
        # RewriteRule ^/var/cache/debug\.html.* - [L]
        # RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/debug\.html.* - [L]
        RewriteRule .* /index.php
    </IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

I've the same problem in the Administration Interface. I hope someone can help me with this problem. If you need more information, just tell me what.
Thank you!

Best regards,
Axel

Hi Axel,

I think you just need to replace this apache rewrite rule :

RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]

by

RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/(texttoimage|public)/.* - [L]

Seb
