What was done before the problem appeared?
I transferred the site to a new host and performed a database import. I even cleared all the cache directories.


What was done to try to solve the problem?
re-uploading files and redoing the database as well as trying a fresh install.



De.scription and Message

The site looks and works fine, UNTIL you click on the 'Private Messages', Logout, or Admin links. Then something strange happens in the url and the portal page gets redisplayed but without all the graphics and css.

for some reason "portal.php" is getting appended to the beginning of url requests as if it were the name of the directory the request link was located in. See below for an example.

EDIT:
I just tried making a new user. All went fine until I returned to the portal page and it screwed up the url again http://wow-cob.info/cob/portal.php/port ... 9b1e14164f


Register a user and see for yourselves... I'd appreciate any feedback ya'll could provide.

thanks,

I'm also showing some really weird errors for all the first lines in the .JS files.
could something be non compliant?

I have no idea, though I can't see how that would be causing my current issue. The issue at hand is when I click on 'admin', 'logout', or 'private messages' the site inputs an EXTRA portal.php/ into the URL and it screws everything up.


Can anyone provide some guidance on this?

I solved the problem.

I had a hunch that the problem must be data in the database from the import. Today when troubleshooting the problem I kept getting re-directed to my home web server which I migrated off of with this new host (this was not happening yesterday when I reported the issue though). Anyway it got me to thinking and I dug around in the database for the board configuration and found some entries that still referred to the old web server. I updated those with my new host information and the site seems to be working now with no hitches.
