Changing logo

Something so simple as merely switching out the bplogo for my own logo has me
completely stumped. I’ve tried quite a few things, including modifying
the …/Elements/Header directly.

The best that I seem to be able to achieve is getting the logo to show up as a
broken link…

Is there some sort of caching or something going on somewhere?

I even went and purposefully screwed up the …/Elements/Header file, then
restarted the webserver ( apache2 w/ virt-hosts and fcgi ) - but it still no
change. …? However, if I remove/rename the Header file, then I’ll get an
error:

“error: could not find component for path ‘/Elements/Header’”

What the heck’s going on here?

Many thanks!

Yes. At the very least, you have to shutdown and restart Apache before
you’ll see the change. You might have to manually flush the Mason
cache, which entails removing all the files in /.

Ok… looks like I posted too soon - sorry for the noise.

Some further google’ing got me the following:

Worked as advertised.

Thanks again,

Heheh – I was trying to be polite. Didn’t want to get too profane!

OK, that’s good to know. I was definitely running into the the Mason cache,
which was only exasperating the situation.

However, the main problem turned out to be a simple case me failing to
properly RTFW…

Beers!
