Comments.Text: So with devMode enabled, the login page loads, but with no styling? Are the resources (CSS/JS) 404'ing if you look in your browser's console?

Comments.Text: This is probably a permission error of the storage folder. I had this recently. The folder had the wrong ftp user. The reason you can see the frontend is because all files have been generated on your dev einvironement. If you delete the storage folder. The frontend won't show up anymore.

Comments.Text: @BradBell - Ah, apparently yes. Lots of 404 errors. I'm confused as to why this would happen: I'm using the same craft folder for both my sandbox and my prod server. I changed the site url settings to point to my regular site as well. What'd I miss?

Comments.Text: @KSPR I checked the storage folder and it's set to me as a user (with permissions set at 744). And as stated to Brad, it's the same folder as when I had a working copy on my sandbox. Which confuses me now :)

  Any thoughts?

  I found the problem - the htaccess file was still the old EE file that had been there. Once I uploaded the Craft-provided htaccess file, I was able to get back into the control panel. Thanks for the help guys!
