Liferay's "Site Administration" problem.

Hello everyone,I am using Liferay 6.2 for a project i have been assigned to. I was checking the functionality of the project, and everything was ok. When i pressed the "Site administration" option from the dockbar i saw that the page was almost like it lost it's CSS, or something like that. I never got involved with that page and i really have no idea what happened. I have noticed that the problem appears only on the "Site administration" page.
Please take a look on the images if have uploaded and if someone can help me out, i would really appreciate it.Thank you in advance,Nikos.

My best guess: A closing html tag is missing.
Stuff like this sometimes happens in 6.2, when an exception is thrown. Please check your logfiles.

Unfortunately Christoph, there is no issue like the one you guessed. Thank you so much for your time.

If anyone else knows something that might help, please share it.

Are there any resources that are failing to load? (I'm sometimes seen security stuff get in the way and block stuff which can cause wonky renderings)

@Mohammed, no no nothing at all. The console log has a warning wich was there the whole time. It doesn't interere at all.

@Andrew, the only thing that gets blocked from security services are the mails and i don't believe that it has to do with this. I was blocked from the start. I'm thinking about the db. Maybe this is where the problem is.

You've probably already tried this of course, but just in case you haven't, can you try removing the customizations (your plugins) to see if the error is resolved? I'm not sure how experienced you are with Liferay, so I'll list all the steps out just in case.

1. While hte server is running, remove your plugins from the webapps directory (you should see them undeploy with statements written to the log)

2 . Stop your server

3. Clear the TOMCAT_HOME/work and TOMCAT_HOME/temp directories

4. Start the server

.. then check to see if the issue persists. Make sure the server is running when you delete those plugins because if there is a (jsp) hook that is altering a JSP file then you want to make sure the clean up is done correctly. 

Ok, let's be optimistic and say that it does resolve the issue -- at that point I would start deploying the plugins one by one (probably starting with hooks as Mohammed has hinted) and testing to see if anything is breaking in between. Assuming this is not a fools errand, it will at least narrow the issue for you.
