Common issues and problems
--------------------------

### HumHub loads without styling or scripts

If HumHub opens but the layout looks broken, styling or scripts are missing, or the browser network log shows `404` responses for CSS, JavaScript, or asset files, check the HumHub installation and routing configuration before assuming the application files are broken.

Common browser console or network symptoms include:

```text
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
humhub is not defined
jQuery is not defined
```

Check the following points:

- Confirm that the web server is configured for the HumHub installation directory and that the requested URL reaches the correct `index.php`.
- Confirm that the configured base URL and [Pretty URLs](installation.md#pretty-urls) setup match the URL used to open HumHub.
- Confirm that generated asset URLs, usually under `/assets`, are reachable by the browser and are not routed to a `404` page.
- Use the browser developer tools Network tab to identify which CSS, JavaScript, or asset request returns `404`.
- If routing, base URL, or asset settings were changed, [clear the cache](#clear-cache) so HumHub can refresh generated asset references.

There is not one universal fix for every asset `404`. Use the failing asset URL and the server response to confirm which part of the setup is serving the wrong path.

### Unable to write cache file '/var/www/humhub/protected/runtime/cache/hu/humhub119...f.bin':

This problem is often caused when the HumHub application is used by different system users.
