Please describe your problem. Site appears to be in a cache loop. - Login, site goes to white background with links. Style doesn't load. Able to get in to ACP using STK (toolkit).
Deleted the Cache folder, cleared cookies, tried multiple networks, same issue.
Login and the cache folder populates as normal.

Setup a test site with a fresh install and copied my files and images over. It does the same thing with fresh install.

Not sure if its Godaddy or something wrong with the site.

Occurs on Firefox and IE so its not the browser.

Looking for suggestions. I have a test site to try suggestions on.

Thanks in advance.

At the time of the post I was at both of your sites. The other and new. Was your original site an older version of phpbb, or? What do you mean you copied your files and images over?

The original site could have been converted over. I forget. But since then we have been upgrading from 3.04 to 3.06 to 3.07 to 3.08 with no issues.

I dont think this is the DB or the data thats causing the problem.

Last night i created a fresh board from scratch and its doing the same thing.

give it a try... http://planetofspeed.net/PHPBB-TEST2/

Your style PS3 is for board version 3.0.4 (5 versions out of date)
Try switching to Prosilver and see if the issue persists.
Style and board versions must match.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have since changed it to prosilver based on your reccomendation.

What i don't get, is that this does the same thing on a fresh install of phpbb 308 with prosilver as the style.
Check out http://planetofspeed.net/PHPBB-TEST2/

I will update PS3 on my original board as it says its compatible with 308.

@ Pitbull.

So, after changing my site to posilver, I cleared my cookies, closed the browser, and relaunched the page.

Clicked login in the top right, entered my login details.

Post a test account please.

EDIT: Your cookie path is incorrect, should be just a fwd slash (/)

ACP->main page->cookie settings.

What did you do to test it?

I just logged in and it took me to the following link and it was a white page with links. Something isnt right. I cant figure it out.

Hover over this link to see the full link...

ok, tried with another browser and i notice this too. Does anyone know what would cause this? Are the JS files not able to be found because they are linked incorrectly? I still think the board is trying to access files incorrectly due to the cookies.

Thoughts?

Update -

Ive opened a case with GODADDY. It took an hour of trying to explain to them that this issue presents itself on a brand new install of the board. I had to create a new board on a new domain to prove it using their automated PHP board installation. So now they have opened a case and i should hear back today to determine their findings. I have come to believe its server related.

They tried to point me in the direction of the CSS Files because the Style wouldn't load. This was on a brand new board install and they were forcing me to fix it. I was like wait a minute. So, if i'm a brand new customer, just used your auto installer on a a new php setup and it doesn't work out of the box, its on me to fix? That doesn't sound right, and then it got escalated. Stay tuned.
