The software was working perfectly on a Windows server. We just moved to a Linux server and transferred the domain. I made the needed changes and it's working fine on the new server with one cosmetic problem - where we display the small calendar, the blue background behind the month name and year is filled with dots. It was a nice solid blue on the Windows server. Can you help?

It's displayed with this code:
<?php $OL=1; require("events/calendar.php"); ?>
<?php require("events/calendar.php"); ?>

I'll have to assume you actually installed the calendar to a folder called "events"... and you must have an events folder inside of the events folder... like so /events/events/ -- otherwise, you're not using the right calendar.php file.

Do you have a URL to your installation so we can see the problem?

Yes, you can see it - notice the dots behind December 2007: http://www.orhadash.com
The dots were not there on the Windows server.

Our directory structure is slightly different. Calendar.php is in folder events which is at the root level. I didn't use the default installation folder "calendar" because we already had a calendar folder. It was working fine this way on the Windows server. All folders were moved from the old server to the new Linux server, I didn't change the directory structure.

Any clues? Thanks...

I just found the problem and fixed it - by using Firebug and looking at the CSS. I found this code:
monthYearRow {esstyle.css (line 153)background-color:#D8E2EC;
background-image:url(monthBg.gif);

Then I looked at monthBg.gif in the theme/default folder and it had the dots! I wonder why? I copied monthBg.gif from the old site, uploaded it, and no more problem.

I see that it is now all fixed. It is possible that there was some corruption when you transfered the file from the old site. Glad you got it figured out.
