constant 404 error

Hi All,

Having a wierd issue where all of the frontend site results in 404 errors, but the admin panel is completely visable. See:

www.barrysheerman.org.uk - 404 error
www.barrysheerman.org.uk/admin - fine

After some basic hunting the site seems to stop working after the @ob_start(); call on line 79 of index.php. I thought it might be a php5.5 issue and upgraded to the latest version of cmsms, but I'm still getting the same error.

It's starting to drive me a little bit mental, if anybody can help shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

David

default page is disabled?
wrong redirect somewhere?
.htaccess settings?
config.php path settings changed?
System Information?
...

Hi,

Here are a couple of other things you might try:
1) check the file permissions of the installed files.

2) verify the install from Site_Admin->System_Verification, or run the standalone cmschecksum.php script (from the install directory), to check for file corruptions.

3) verify you have write access to your session_save_path: /tmp

Hope this helps,
fredp

Might be a good suggestion. Starts to look like a hacked website... :(

<edit>
Is the index.php still there? In the root of the website I mean.
And is the content changed?

url_rewriting: none

When I google your website I get urls like: .../index.php/news/72/51/Lloyds-jobs-cut
This combination isn't possible :-\
