I've left a comment on the Joomla forum about this: https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=803&t=985622&p=3627757#p3627757. In essence: Quick-starts are not the recommended way to install Joomla.

For your testing, I would use the J4 nightly build, then install Helix Ultimate 2.0 Beta 1 through Extension Manager, and avoid the quick-start package altogether; Joomshaper should provide this Beta 1 release as a stand-alone template install package on their GITHUB site.

Hello @AMurray2016.
As I have already mentioned on https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=803&t=985622&p=3627766, I also got the problem after using a J4 Full Package (In my case, Joomla 4 Beta 5) without installing Helix Ultimate.

It not a Joomla! issue. Ask for support in the extension developers.

The administrator panel looking weird and not working (There is no interactivity when clicking on any button).

the extension is "hacking" joomla runtime

WARNING ... assets No asset found for com_modules.module.92, falling back to com_modules

And this is another confirmation.

@Fedik In the forum post the author states he has tried with a regular Beta 5 and without the Helix Ultimate.

@Mohamed1308 Did you also read the FAQ for Joomla 4 Beta 5? It tells that there is an extra step to do in SQL, e.g. in phpMyAdmin.

Please report back if you had followed these instructions or not, and please do as advised in the support forum and try with the latest Joomla 4 Beta, which is Joomla 4 Beta 7 and can be found here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/tag/4.0.0-beta7 , and report back the result here and in the forum. Thanks in advance.

P.S.: Joomla 4 Beta 7 doesn't need that additional SQL step.

LiteSpeed-based server PHP: 7.3 lsphp

LiteSpeed is not officially supported by the Joomla Project (although its mostly a direct replacement for Apache, and even Rochen, who host joomla.org use it for Joomla.org, still... its not officially supported by the Joomla Project https://downloads.joomla.org/technical-requirements) - just a FYI as there are differences.

@Mohamed1308 any news on your issue?

@Fedik I got the same issue after using the Joomla 4 Beta 7 Full Package (https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/tag/4.0.0-beta7) without installing Helix Ultimate, so it really is a Joomla problem and it isn't related to any extension.

@richard67 The problem still persists with Joomla 4 Beta 7. I installed J4 on an empty website (https://www.dv2025.com) via the Beta 7 Full Package (https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/tag/4.0.0-beta7) and the result was similar after renaming htaccess.txt to .htaccess (The backend not working and looking strange). In addition to that, the problem is also present in the frontend for https://www.sitename.com, but it isn't for https://sitename.com (So, https://www.dv2025.com looks strange, but https://dv2025.com doesn't).
I didn't install Helix Ultimate in the website, thus the problem isn't related to it.

@Mohamed1308 thanks for your answer. i do now every day a fresh install using launch.joomla.org. The first thing i do is renaming htaccess.txt to .htacccess and i never got your issue. Hope this help to find whats happen.

@Mohamed1308 My previous comment was wrong.

As @PhilETaylor already wrote in one comment before:

LiteSpeed is not officially supported by the Joomla Project

To make it work you have to configure .htaccess for LiteSpeed server.

The administrator panel looking weird and not working (There is no interactivity when clicking on any button).

Unless you can accurately communicate WHAT was wrong, then this issue should be closed.

Just saying something is "looking weird and not working" is not good enough.

I "look weird and not working" most of the time... it doesn't mean there there is a problem with me... oh wait...

Open up your browsers console, report any Javascript errors, check the the network tab, refresh the page and report any network assets that come back as red/404/403/500 errors in the list. Better still send screenshots of the complete network panel for us to interpret with our experience.

The javascript / css files on the site are being blocked and that's the reason causing the error. We just don't know why it is blocked

These are not blocked.

ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED means that they are being double gzipped and therefore corrupted.

This is not a Joomla issue, this is a hosting issue.

If the hosting is already gzipping JS files, then Joomla doesn't need to. This is up to the user to configure their site correctly or their server correctly.

@PhilETaylor Do you have any tip for him? Or should we tell him to contact hosting provider and ask them to check?

Simple, remove the last section in .htaccess. Its not needed on this webhost because the server configuration already has been configured to gzip js files.
