All page links redirect to homepage? page redirect error

Our site has been using CMSMS for several years and we love it, no major problems to date. However just recently one of our content managers posted some new news stories (loaded with a couple YouTube links) and since that time the following occurs:
  • - Site homepage loads fine, no error flags or noticeable issues
    - when clicking on ANY link (which should take user to subservient page), site reloads the homepage
    - the URL is the correct subservient page, but the page itself is in fact the homepage
    - Clearing site cache doesn't work / no change
    - typing in a non-existant URL results in a proper 404 error / works correctly
any ideas here on why the CMS is interpreting or returning all sub-page clicks back as home page redirects? Would love some help here - this is a woman's non-profit site for domestic violence so want to keep it available 24x7

I do not see this behavior. Show me what exactly what you mean with a screenshot with your notes.

Again, post screenshot and server info.

When I logged in to that guy's website backend, I did not see any errors on FF5.

Config details are as follows:

#-----------------
#Behaviour Settings
#-----------------

# These settings will effect the overall behaviour of the CMS application, please
# use extreme caution when editing these. Additionally, some settings may have
# no effect on servers with significantly restricted configurability.

# Warning: This option is deprecated and will be removed in later versions oF CMSMS.
# If you are experiencing problems with php memory limit errors, then you may
# want to try enabling and/or adjusting this setting.
# Note: Your server may not allow the application to override memory limits.
$config['php_memory_limit'] = '';

# In versions of CMS Made Simple prior to version 1.4, the page template was processed
# in it's entirety. This behaviour was later changed to process the head portion of the
# page template after the body. If you are working with a highly configured site that
# relies significantly on the old order of smarty processing, you may want to try
# setting this parameter to true.
$config['process_whole_template'] = false;

# CMSMS Debug Mode? Turn it on to get a better error when you
# see {nocache} errors, or to allow seeing php notices, warnings, and errors in the html output.
# This setting will also disable browser css caching.
$config['debug'] = false;

# Output compression?
# Turn this on to allow CMS to do output compression
# this is not needed for apache servers that have mod_deflate enabled
# and possibly other servers. But may provide significant performance
# increases on some sites. Use caution when using this as there have
# been reports of incompatibilities with some browsers.

# Timezone setting
# PHP 5.3 requires that timezones be set at the server level.

#site is hosted in a different country than it's intended audience.
$config['locale'] = '';

#In almost all cases, default_encoding should be empty (which defaults to utf-8)
#and admin_encoding should be utf-8. If you'd like this to be different, change
#both. Keep in mind, however, that the admin interface translations are all in
#utf-8, and will be converted on the fly to match the admin_encoding. This
#could seriously slow down the admin interfaces for users.

#This is a mysql specific option that is generally defaulted to true. Only
#disable this for backwards compatibility or the use of non utf-8 databases.

# Set none if you want hide the link from Error

#------------------------
#Miscelaneous Settings
#------------------------

#Add performance information (in the form of an HTML comment) to the
#bottom of all generated pages. Note, this may cause problems with validation
#or with advanced AJAX requests where only portions of a page are requested.
#This variable just needs to exist, value is irrelevant.
#$config['show_performance_info'] = 'anything';

?>

To start with it defaulted to the Home page. Since I have added a 404 error page and they have set up the re-direct (since they don't support 301) then the error page appears instead. The urls change as expected but doesn't take you to any page but this. They say it is with the script but I haven't changed any script!

Help would be appreciated!

I see your config has the hierarchy setting in it which tells me you are on an older version that is no longer supported, upgrade and see if that fixes it...
