sitecore Access denied error - sitecore

I am using Sitecore 7.2 and have created many content items, everything is working fine except items in an "admin" folder.
When I try to access Blog admin from admin folder, I get noaccess error, I have checked permissions and they look fine. The following string is added to the URL and redirect to the my 404 page.
?item=%2f**noaccess**&user=extranet%5cAnonymous&site=website
I have inherited this project from a different developer, so I am trying to figure out if any config can disable the access or not.
I have also tried removing all renderings but still getting same error.
Items are published properly and I have checked them in Sitecore web database.
Where should I look to find out the problem?

Cpanel Django ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on Admin/Auth/User and Admin/Auth/Group Pages

I'm doing a project for a client using Django and have finally installed it on CPanel.
Everything seems to be working great, but when I try to access the admin panel, the tables group or user has an error because it says it's doing a lot of redirections.
In the admin panel, I just have this:
When I try to register something, it loads the page, like this:
But when I try to access the tables, it shows me an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, as shown in the following picture:
It basically says that it's not working and to try to delete my cookies. I did that, and nothing worked. In the urls.py I only have the admin path so the redirection problem is not from something I miscofigured there.
I haven't modified the installation parameters for settings.py besides the Allowed_Host variable to allow the URL of the page, the database connection using PostgreSQL and its working, and the variables of the static files are also working.
So I'm feeling deadlocked because I can't find an answer to this and I don't believe I'm the first one experiencing this.
EDIT: The only new thing that I found is this and as I said I haven't even created files yet so I don't know what Index is this:
If someone knows anything, please let me know.

Sub-pages on a GitHub pages site

I've just set up a new GitHub Pages page: https://philipnye.github.io/ainfo. I'm not using Jekyll.
My GitHub repo has a web folder that itself contains a number of sub-folders, e.g. web/2044. Within each is an html file, with a name such as Abbey-Academies-Trust.html.
I was expecting to be able to view the relevant page at https://philipnye.github.io/ainfo/web/2044/Abbey-Academies-trust.html, but I'm getting a 404 error.
In that particular folder - web/2044 - I've also created an index.html file, but I'm getting a 404 error for https://philipnye.github.io/ainfo/web/2044/index.html too.
I'm clearly missing something, but I can't see anything in the documentation that suggests why this isn't working.
For the first url, it's a caps problem on Trust : https://philipnye.github.io/ainfo/web/2044/Abbey-Academies-Trust.html.
For the second url everything is ok. The problem was certainly that you have near 2000 pages and that Github page took a while to generate your site.

Unable to preview in content editor - Sitecore

I have added 2 pages in the content tree - index & Home Page. It was working fine until yesterday. Unable to preview 'index' in the Content editor (CE) now.
The error message is -
The requested document was not found
However, when I do Tools > Browse > Preview, from Sitecore Rocks, it opens fine. Also, I am able to preview 'Home Page' in CE without issue.
Following Mike's Solution Here, I tried to add the user 'Everyone' and removing 'extranet/Anonymous'. But the changes never Save.
Why does it happen to this page alone. No changes made to web.config and I am using only master DB.
UPDATE:
Here is what I have observed.
When 'index' is placed outside the 'en' folder, it can be previewed. Someone suggested that Sitecore is confused by the folder name with its languages. But renaming it to Test-en, also did not work.
I also tried this. Created 'index' outside 'en' folder. Then created a copy of the same inside the 'en' with the name 'index1'. I can preview index1 now, but if 'index' is deleted, it's the same issue again.
I have seen this happen a few times. On a new instance, I don't believe it is permissions, especially if you are using SIM to install (if you aren't - try it!)
Follow these steps and it should fix your issue. Make sure all instances of your browser are closed. They are known to keep hidden instances running. Stop all those tasks. Restart your IIS instance. Log Into your sitecore site with the magical password. Preview the page. You should be able to preview and in fact get the Experience Editor.
I do agree that Sitecore is confused as to the state of that it is logged in as, that is why it is important to close all browser instances.
If you still get this error, clear your logs. Do the above steps and send me your logs. I will look at them for any oddities.
Happy Sitecoring!

Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface

I had a Mura 5 site, Admin stopped working with CF11 update.
I downloaded Mura 6, pasted site content in it, applied updateDB from url to the old database and it updated the DB.
Now admin area is working but i am getting the following error on client area.
Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface C:\sites\mura\test_site1\includes\servlet.cfc.
Ensure that the name is correct and that the component or interface exists.
The only problem is it is looking in old folder name mura instead of root folder of site which I named mura-6.
I don't know where can i change that to fix it. I didn't find any settings in tsetting nor in settings.ini.cfm(this has an abort tag on start btw)
I have also applied appreload, fuseboxreload and there is no mapping i found.
please guide.

Can't Open Web forms for marketers Form Designer or Security Manager

I have had WFFM running on a Sitecore instance for a while, but it has recently stopped working. When I go to "Form Designer" on an existing form, I get the standard Sitecore "The requested document was not found" page.
Requested URL: /applications/modules/web
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
Note that the requested URL is stated as /applications/modules/web instead of /applications/modules/web forms for marketers.
A lot of development has occurred on this site recently, so I'm not sure when exactly this started happening.
Additional: info:
Folder and file permissions are correct.
I've tried reinstalling the WFFM package, and made sure that all the files are in place.
Several processors have been added to the HttpBeginRequest pipeline, but I removed them all to test if they were the cause - they weren't.
I haven't upgraded Sitecore since WFFM was working and the version is correct.
No errors are logged
EDIT
This also seems to be affecting the Sitecore Security Editor:
Requested URL: /appl
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
EDIT 2
Further investigation with this is making me think it is related to the Requested URL. I originally thought the the "Not found" page was displaying the requested url incorrectly. However, if I attempt to goto mysite.com/sitecore/shell/applications/fake folder with spaces/fake page with spaces I get this error message:
Requested URL: /applications/fake folder with spaces/fake page with
spaces
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
As you can see the Requested Url is correct in the error message. So in relation to my problem, I think maybe Sitecore is requesting the wrong URL in the first place.
Additionally if I go to the go the following url by typing directly into the browser, then the Security Editor opens as expected:
mysite.com/sitecore/shell/Applications/Security/User-Editor
This is quite old now but I thought I'd provide an update for anyone else who encounters the problem.
Unfortunately, Sitecore support weren't able to help beyond pointing out that setting the addAspxExtension attribute to 'true' in the link provider seemed to solve the problem. This may have been acceptable except that extensionless URLs were important to the customer.
In the end I had to amend my link provider so that addAspxExtension is set to 'true' in the web config, and then I set it to false inside the GetItemUrl method for specified sites only.
So now whenever the context site is 'Shell' or 'Admin' etc, the extensions are added by default, but switched off in my main website.
Of course, this is a work around. I still don't know how to actually fix the problem
So the first thing that I am going to tell you is that I suspect that there is something wrong with your site declaration for Sitecore Modules. In your web.config, there's a site declaration for "modules_shell" and "modules_website". Those are where the code files that run the modules are usually located... a shell folder to run the parts that run in the Sitecore shell and a web folder to run the part that is accessed by the externally facing site. Please check your site declarations (and the form.config file) to make sure that you're not in live mode or something like that. I would definitely say that this is where you should start looking.
The next thing is to say that your comments about Sitecore not serving a url in the /sitecore/shell directory is really not surprising. Sitecore processes all requests unless you specifically tell it to ignore requests (like setting it in the IgnoreUrlPrefixes in web.config), it's going to try processing it. Like going to /sitecore/shell/applications gives me a layout error because it doesn't have anything set to handle that request. Now your error suggests that there is something wrong with Site declarations.. however, even if they were all right, it still wouldn't work.
