I have exactly same two CentOS 6 boxes. Trying to install vim and enable color scheme file.

Same thing, same vim versions used but the color scheme works in one machine and not in other.

Here are info:

# vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jul 24 2015 02:23:23)
...... +syntax

# cat ~/.vimrc
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
color termschool

# ll ~/.vim/colors/
termschool.vim

Everything are "exactly" same on both Server. But the color scheme file is working on one but not on another one.

Here is what's happening:

When i edit a file using vim, it always falls into default scheme. (So it shows default colors)
When i remove the color scheme file ~/.vim/colors/termschools.vim, then the vim shows error message. (So, that means vim still looks for the color scheme file, which is correct manner)
But when i put the file back again, nothing happens but the default color are loaded again.

I'm very confused now. Any advice please?

Do you use the same terminal emulator on both hosts ? It might be that the number of colors supported by the emulators are different. Vim defaults to the default color scheme if the theme colors are not supported. See the caveats section in the readme of the github repositoty of the theme – Vincent Nivoliers Mar 22 '16 at 14:30

If you echo $TERM on both the values are identical ? Anyway this question can help you check the number of colors – Vincent Nivoliers Mar 22 '16 at 16:55
Are the termschool.vim files also identical? – Lucas Mar 31 '16 at 11:28
