WordPress Admin Pages Appear Outlined

March 3rd, 2013

I recently ran into this problem on a word press installation:
outline

Everything in the admin pages was laid out correctly but all I was the borders of the positioned elements.  It looked as if all the background colors/images where missing.  Upon closer inspect in firebug, I noticed that colors-fresh.min.css was coming back as 404 file not found even though it was on the server:

outline_404

To correct the problem I created an .htaccess file for the WordPress installation and then set the permalinks to post-name.  This wrote to the .htaccess file. Which allowed the css file to resolve on the server and restore visual beauty to the WordPress admin panel.
