I suspect that is not a page rendered with concrete5.

thanks for the reply, but the login page seems to be showing somewhat better...

Yes. That is how it should look. If you look at the source, a few lines into the header there is

<meta name="generator" content="concrete5 - 5.7.5.6">

Do you have an old html page or other old site remnant that could be taking precedence over concrete5 for you home page?

On your previous base URL link, when you look at the source you have nothing like that. Just a bunch of fonts and some garbage content with no c5 meta and no other tell-tale elements to indicate it was generated by concrete5.

You copud look at the .htaccess and see if there are any old rewrites in it from your wordpress trial or otherwise.

thanks for the tips.... I will check the config files...btw... this is a windows hosting...I guess then it will be webconfig

thanks...

I was wrong, this is a linux hosting...and these are the contents of the .htaccess

AddHandler php55 .php
Action php55 /cgi-bin/php55.cgi

does it help diagnose the problem?

thanks

That looks innocent enough (but bear in mind that you could have more than one .htaccess, so maybe check other directories).

I wonder if it could be a remnant from a borked addon domain. Those don't necessarily show up in .htaccess.

thanks for the reply....

I did some debugging as to from where these characters are coming from... and to my surprise I found them to be originating from

concrete\vendor\symfony\http-foundation\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response.php

and from this->content variable. when I change this to a test string.... it gets rendered correctly...

any help would be wonderful!

thanks

That's some impressive debugging!

I wonder if it's a language-related problem. Or maybe just a damaged file.

Thanks everyone for your time and inputs....
I cleaned the db, cleared the root folder... and did every thing new again....
it worked, little scary... but this is the first time since 2 years.
thanks
