Bianca, can I have your site URL?

Also, just in case, check your server's error logs.

So i assume this is what went wrong, but the question is, how do i solve it...

Seems like you have fixed this yourself.  I have loged in to your site and everything is ok.

Regarding the error with ModSecurity, it might have caused the page not found issue.
But it better to contact your host regarding this issue.

i ended up reinstalling and started over... couldn't find anything wrong, my host said it was wordpress of the main site overriding oxwall, but that couldn't be, since it has been running for 8 months now....

Hope i never encounter this because starting over is not what the members want...

Make sure you make a database backup of your oxwall site everyday and also before you add a new mod,if your datebase is to big to reinstall  use this software http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/

 

Staggered import of large and very large MySQL Dumps (like phpMyAdmin 2.x dumps) even through the web servers with hard runtime limit and those in safe mode. The script imports only a small part of the huge dump and restarts itself. The next session starts where the last was stopped.

Before you reinstall your back  download  your plugins  ,user photos ,etc   from  your oxwall in public _html   and your config file  as this needs to be kept and reuploaded  as its got your password ,INfact down load all your public _index  folder off your server  onto your desktop then you will have all the files ,etc    . To start you need to go to your datebase and drop it ,so now its empty ,then your need to reinstall oxwall  , then go back to your datebase and drop it again ,then import your database back up  .Then you need to upload your config file and over write the one in your new oxwall install ,then upload all your photos ,files, folders .And all being good you will have your website back .
