Blank Page when navigating to SharePoint site - sharepoint

I created a SharePoint web-application, and a new site collection under it. I made it SSL Enabled. (Now I could view the site and modify/add content). I started modifying the landing page of the sites I created. Basically I created a copy of seattle.master and applied this new css file to my pages. Now suddenly, I see a blank page with no error information, on navigating to my site collection. I tried the LoopBack fix to no avail. I feel this is an authentication issue, but I am unsure where to go from here. Moreover, SharePoint Designer refuses to connect to the site as well (I am getting- SharePoint Foundation not installed on this server error, which is not the case). I have Sharepoint Server 2013, and the web server is on Win Server 2008 R2. Any ideas?

I had the same issue with my sites on all site collections under a web application.
I tested the other sites in the other site collection and they were coming up ok.
I checked the content database, took it off line and reset it, same issue. Checked log files, no errors in the log files, reset IIS and app pools same issue, checked permissions on the webapp in iis, same issue.
Solution.
Replaced the webconfig from yesterdays backup and it worked,
a solution that was deployed to the web application and activated on the site collection must added some entries and corrupted the file

IIS Security Login Popup for one folder in server 2008

I am setting up a classic asp website on windows server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. All my pages are working fine except for those in a single directory named /reports. That folder contains only .asp pages, no specialized config or hidden files. Below is the image of the popup I get for that location.
In IIS I have Anonymous Authentication enabled and set to application pool, though I have also attempted setting it to IUSR which didn't change anything.
I went a bit nuts adding users with full control of the folder
If anyone has any ideas I am officially desperate. I've read and tried everything I can find on windows and stackoverflow websites.
If you have SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) installed, the folder name "Reports" will be reserved. You can change the folder name "Reports" with something else in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager into Web Portal URL.

why does the index page of my website bring me to the Lucee start page?

I have a Windows 2012 web server running IIS. I've installed Lucee on it and everything seems to be working fine. I created a web site and set the default document to index.cfm. When I go to this site, I see the index.cfm file.
I created another web site, with basically identical settings as the first web site except with a different host name. However, when I go to the index.cfm page for this site, it brings me to the Lucee start page.
Additionally, I set the directory of the web site to be C:\sitename\www
However when I try to access any other page other than the index.cfm page, it gives me an error saying the page at C:\inetpub\www cannot be found. Its like it is looking in the wrong place. I have verified that the location of the directory for the site is C:\sitename\www
Why does this site not work, but the other one does. It seems to be a configuration issue, but both site are configured exactly the same with the exception of the host name.
My Lucee configuration file at :
C:\lucee\lib\lucee-server\context\lucee-server.xml
had the wrong information in the section. Once I corrected it, it started working again.

After STSADM restore to new farm getting DirectoryNotFoundException

I did a restoration of the complete site collection using the stsadm restore into a new farm. The site as it is work good but I have one wiered issue that whenever I visit the root site I get the following error.
If I visit the sub sites directly this is what I see in the top navigation
Here is what I have found in troubleshooting it
If I do a app pool recycle or IISReset the issue is gone and site works perfect
The error comes back after few minutes of site usage
The different steps that I took after looking at few other places are
Deactivate and reactivate the SharePoint Publishing Infrastructure
Change the master page
Reset the blob cache, output cache and object cache (I doubt this was the fix, cause cache is not enabled)
Clear the sharepoint configuration cache as per this site
Please let me know your thoughts on how I can fix this and following in the farm details
Server - Windows 2003 x86
SharePoint - MOSS 2007 with build number 12.0.0.6656
Thanks
Deepak
Deactivating and reactivating the publishing site feature in the Site Collection and Web fixed it.

Datasources only found on 1 site in IIS 7

The title is not quite correct, but here is the problem situation:
Setup multiple sites on the same IIS 7 server
Installed CF10 and it works fine on all sites
CFIDE Datasources can only be found for 1 site, not all of them, even though they still work on all sites
To see CF datasources (using RDS), the URL is sitename/CFIDE/administrator/datasources/index.cfm. Each site in IIS 7 has the CFIDE directory mapped to it as far as I know. It appears in the site folder structure for all my sites as a virtual directory. I used the Web Server Configuration Tool to remove and re-add ColdFusion to all my sites.
The problem is that applications using RDS can only find datasources for one of my sites. It uses the URL given above sitename/CFIDE/administrator/datasources/index.cfm to find the datasources of the site. RDS is not picking up the datasources for any of the other sites.
I tried manually going to sitename2/CFIDE/administrator/datasources/index.cfm (sitename2 being the name of a different site in IIS to the one that's working) and I just get this error:
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
Can anyone suggest how to fix this so the URL will resolve for each site? Otherwise my RDS feature has broken which is not good. If I test the sites themselves, they all work fine and can access my datasources just fine. So something is up with the RDS feature
I've sorted it. Looks like it was a password thing. I had to remove the require password authentication and re-apply it again.

Sharepoint 2010 web parts not displaying on one website, but are on the other

I'm working on remolding my companies current exsisting Sharepoint site. I installed the SP ZAP Slideshow webpart and went to the sharepoint site to insert it, and absolutely no webparts were listed. I went into the provided Sharepoint 2010 central administration and realized that everything seems to be listed as
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sitepages/
When the website were hosting, and it should be listing is
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sites/
I went to the /sitepages website and all the webparts exsisted and worked, however i need to get them working on the /sites page. Is there some way to switch it so it will not default all the webparts and content i'm uploading to the wrong page? I feel as though the wrong default page is listed? sorry new to all this!
Web Parts, which you see listed and are able to insert on a page when you edit it, come from the Web Part Gallery in the site collection. They are usually installed to the gallery when you activate their site collection-scope feature. Check what features you didn't activate in the new site collection - I suspect that one of them is responsible for the installation of Web Parts you are looking for. (The scope of the feature can be site collection or site - check both.)
