Forum not loading "No Data Received"

[guidance]

Hey, my forum is: http://loitersquad.co/forums/ [nofollow]
and it's not loading. I've tried it in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and using http://browsershots.org [nofollow] to test pretty much every OS and browser on it. It didn't work on all of them.

Mods(this isn't a exact list, I'm going off of memory):
Simple Audio Video Embedder
an ad management plugin that I used to add Clicksor ads(don't recall the name)

I know it's not my server because http://loitersquad.co [nofollow] loads up fine, but the directory SMF is installed in(/forums/) doesn't.

Can anybody help me? It'd be much appreciated.

This is quite strange indeed. What's even more interesting is that this works: http://loitersquad.co/forums/Themes/index.php

Maybe you have something funky going on in your /forums .htaccess file? Try seeing what's inside there.

Incidentally, when did this start happening?

[ziycon]

Have you got any mods installed for example pretty urls?

It was working last night, and I'll check the htacess file.

@Ziycon, I have some mods installed.

Here's the .htaccess file:

# PRETTYURLS MOD ENDS

[ziycon]

Ye, prettyurls is in there, can you disable the pretty url mod and see if everything works ok?

Comment out all the rules in the .htaccess file by putting a # in front of each line and save it, log into you're forum and disable the mod.

I changed the .htaccess file to this:

and it still doesn't work.

[ziycon]

I'm just after noticing you have simpleportal installed, this could be the issue, can you disable all you're mods and see if the forum works?

The admin panel doesn't load either.

Can anybody help me with this?

I need to get my forum back up ASAP.

[guidance]

Seriously, please, I need this up as quickly as possible. To whoever can help me, it'd be appreciated GREATLY.

Alternatively, if somebody can tell me how to make a backup of the forum posts, users, etc. with access to cPanel(the admin page doesn't load either, as said before), it'd be much appreciated.

It appears to be a server/host issue. http://loitersquad.co  does not load for me either.

It loads for me just fine.

[Xenocidius]

Well, when did it start happening? Was it after you installed a certain mod or was it just random? If it was after a mod, this may help.

Otherwise, you could try looking at the root .htaccess file or restarting Apache.

I've already posted my htaccess file, and this wasn't after installing a mod, this just happened out of the blue.

[Xenocidius]

I mean your root / .htaccess file, not your /forums .htaccess file. Also, try restarting Apache.

Root .htaccess:

Code Select Expand

# Do not remove this line or mod_rewrite rules and search engine friendly URLs will stop working
RewriteBase /

That's it.
I'm using http://powrhost.com [nofollow] for hosting, I don't think I can restart Apache.

Are you still experiencing an issue with this?

Have a look at the below links on how to backup your database and files.

The forum loads for me and it seems damned quick, too!
