[hecs_m]

I completed upgrade to 2.3.3 but now CSS and JS are not loading. Googled and tried several solutions but nothing is working. Please help!

Hello @hecs_m 

Check server error.log file if it enabled.

Else, enable the display error log and check it.

Hope it helps.

Nothing in the logs. Any other ideas on how I can troubleshoot?

@hecs_m try the below commands.

If you are working on default mode then please switch to developer mode using

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

After this run the below commands.

sudo rm -rf pub/static/*
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Thanks

Hello @hecs_m 

1. You should adjust the filesystem permissions and maybe the webserver rewrites: https://mage2.pro/t/259

2. Upload default .htaccess file in root

Hello, 

@Rahul Gupta 

I switched to developer mode, removed static content, deployed. When trying to switch back to production mode it was giving me a compilation error:

Command returned non-zero exit code: `/usr/local/php71/bin/php-cli -f /home/customer/www/goodsash.com/public_html/bin/magento setup:di:com pile`

So then I switched back and skipped compilation ( from a suggestion to another question ) 

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production --skip-compilation

Tried running permissions (from @theMageComp suggestion):

chmod 777 pub

chmod 777 var

Cleaned cache.

Deploy.

It's working finally!!  I'm guessing the permissions got changed when updating Magento? I'm new to Magento so I'm learning as I go.

Thanks!
