vqmod script not working

Hi

I originally posted this question on the dutch forum and I thought I had the answer. I tried to change a css file with vqmod but overlooked the fact that that is not possible. The work-around that I found was the following:
create a copy of the stylesheet, edit this one and let vqmod change the header.tpl to link to the copied cdd instead of the original one. I was happy with this solution but, unfortunately, it does not work either.
Apparantly, i am overlooking something.
It is OpenCart 1.5.6.4, almost a clean install. I intalled VQmod, OMFlite (but for this I changed the template in admin to "default") and also made some other minor changes with admin. That's it.

just to test things, I copied the stylesheet within the default template to a stylesheetanjo.css and that one contains my change (a sinple change, just to test it).

then I wrote the following script:
If I edit the original catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/styesheet.css, the changes are visible in the store. if I edit the catalog\view\theme\default\template\common\header.tpl so that it points to the copied stylesheet (stylesheetanjo.css) it also works. So i am quite confident that I use the correct files. But the script does not do anything. No error in the log either. What am I missing?

thanks, Anjo

Check if vq2-catalog_view_theme_default_template_common_header.tpl is being generated in the /vqmod/vqcache directory. If not, delete the /vqmod/mods.cache and /vqmod/checked.cache files and try again. If the file is there make sure your CSS file link is correct and not generating a 404.

The file you mentioned (...header.tlp) was not present in the vqcache. i deleted both the checked.cache and the mods.cache and tried again. No socces. I have no clue what is happening.

thanks for your answer,
Anjo

Did you make sure vQmod is installed and the script is in the right directory?

yes
another script is wordking fine.

Clear out all the files in vqcache and make sure they're regenerating. Also make sure you're working on the correct website/directory. Make sure the vQmod script is named in the form of filename.xml and that it's in the /vqmod/xml directory. Make sure the file is not blank. Check that the log directory and make sure there are proper write permissions. Create a failing vQmod script to test it.

I did eveything you suggested. This afternoon there were no log files to be found but now there are (so logs from my previous attempts I mean). i did not make any changes but now it is working correctly. So I really think it was some kind of problem with my host. i had more issues this afternoon. It is now working correctly, but it is the same as it was this afternoon. Beats me.

Thank you very much fot your help. I appreciate it a lot.
