Magento – Magento admin skin loading from base/default instead of default/default

administration

I am migrating my server from the dev to live, on the live server when I go to the admin section I am getting 404s for the css.

For example instead of trying to load the css from

/skin/adminhtml/default/default/reset.css

it is trying to load from here:

/skin/adminhtml/base/default/reset.css

What could cause this?

The backend has the same fallback mechanism as the frontend regarding the themes.
The last fallback level is always base/default for both of them.

The reason you reach that level for admin is: you don't have the file you requested in default/default OR the file is not readable.

I would put my money on "door number 2". Check the permissions on your files and folders.
