Like many others I have had trouble with the constants loading, I followed one of the examples mentioned by someone else for the same question to change the constants to variables instead of using define but then in the apache error log I get;

If use used the define keyword for the constants in the apache error log I get the same error. At first I was getting a white screen, but that was due to some syntax error. However now I get the thank you page but no styles and as explained in the error log no header and footer.
I have another question. As I am using LAMP and have set up a virtual host for shirtsformike.com locally on my computer. Do I need to do all of this? As it worked fine for me simply using root-relative paths, or even relative paths.
