Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me resolve this installation.  I'm a vb.net developer but have not done much ASP.NET, and I've never done a DNN install before.

I installed the Source version (latest version as of this date, 4.09.00) on IIS 5.0 on a Windows 2000 Server SP4 w/ SQL Server 2005 developer.  I configured the connectionString correctly, everywhere and set account and directory permissions.  I created a new database in SQL 2005 for DNN.  DNN seems to have installed itself fine on there (tables, procedures, etc).

For installing, I first hit the web site (which I called "monkeydata") and I got the installation procedure where I choose installations options, selected which modules to install, verified the database connection, etc.  I got to the very end where it said everything was not installed and ready.  The link at the bottom of the page was supposed to take me to the new site.

At that point, IIS on the server maxes out the CPU.  I looked at the system32\LogFiles\W3CSVC1 folder and find the following in the logs:

2008-10-17 16:53:51 192.168.1.126 - 192.168.1.126 80 GET /monkeydata/ - 302 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
2008-10-17 16:53:51 192.168.1.126 - 192.168.1.126 80 GET /monkeydata/Default.aspx - 302 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
2008-10-17 16:53:52 192.168.1.126 - 192.168.1.126 80 GET /MonkeyData/Default.aspx tabid=36 302 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
2008-10-17 16:53:52 192.168.1.126 - 192.168.1.126 80 GET /MonkeyData/Default.aspx tabid=36 302 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
... REPEATED AD NAUSEUM ...

At this point, there is simply a CONSTANT REDIRECT to go to /MonkeyData/Default.aspx tabid=36.  The last two lines above are repeated over and over.  It seems to be stuck in a loop, redirecting as fast as it can (about 12-14 times a second), which is why the IIS process is suddenly maxing out the cpu.  (BTW, this is installed on a virtual machine in MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1).

I looked in the database, and there's a "MonkeyData" in dnn_Portals (PortalId=0) and in dnn_Tabs there is a tabid 36 which is the "Home" tab.

It looks like Default.aspx.vb InitializePage() is causing the redirect, but not sure why it constantly repeats itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
// CHRIS

I know this is an old post but there are still people upgrading to 4.9.x who do not want to upgrade to 5.x yet.  So if you are one of those people and you run into this redirect issue that is reported in this post. you need to...

1. Remove the System.Web.Extensions from your Bin folder
2. Open your web.config in Windows Notepad and search for "System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0" and replace it with "System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0"
3. That should fix it.  If not, also add an AssemblyBinding to your web.config that will point all references to System.Web.Extensions 1.x to 3.5.0.0
