Currently my site is DotNetNuke® Version is 4.3.5.  I've made several attempts at upgrading ( to both 4.7.0 & 4.8.0) over the past week, so much so that I have Chris Hammond's blog memorized.  So I don't need any help there.

I am getting an error that others have also encountered.  Nobody has seemed to figure this one out.

  • The upgrades will say they have completed successfully.
  • Try to go to site with IE and you are forever hung.
  • Try to go to site with Firefox and you get a "Server redirecting error".
    • the URL is www.powerhousedata.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.powerhousedata.com
    • this must be an infinite loop

No answers I could find for this, just like here (no answers).

I tried to redo HTTP friendly urls using www.ifinity.com.au dll
I thought I could at least break it into a different error, but still the same error! 

So my first question is, "Has anybody successfully upgraded on WebHost4Life?"  Or even installed fresh?

My biggest question, of course, is what is going on and how to fix it?!  Certainly my site works now at ver. 4.3.5. on this host.  What's the big difference now with DotNetNuke Http UrlRewrite (I have scant knowledge of how this all is supposed to work).

Hi Douglas,

I don't think this will be a hosting issue, as far as i know if a web hosting supports 4.x then it should support all versions including 4.x.x unless other policies defined.

However you might know DNN releases contain different bug fixes at each new release and some of them requires removing dll files which is not required any more. Search for HTML, Survey and URLRewrite issues for more detail on this.

Maybe i could take a look at what's going wrong on your hosting account if delegation of hosting management possible. Please contact me via http://www.mynetnuke.com/Contact.aspx if you are interested.

Regards.

I completely stripped out the Portal, deleted modules, deleted all pages, tried to upgrade with 4.07, stil got "Server redirecting error".

I wondered if it was possible to Install, so I created a second database and ran an install 4.08 to that.  This did work.

Now I have DNN 4.08 but I am missing all my pages & content.

Any suggestions?

  • Should I go back to 4.3.5?
  • Should I attempt to copy database tables from first database to second database?  I'm willing to try this but I don't know if it is worth doing.  The only thing I would need is the Text/HTML module content since this was 90% of my site.

Hi Douglas,

I have experienced the infinite loop problem on my local machine, it turned out that a security exception was being thrown each visit to a page.
- go to the home page
- error is thrown, dnn redirects to show the error
- another error is thrown
results in an infinite loop.

In my case I'm not worried about security so I set Full trust in the web.config:
<trust level="Full" originUrl=".*" />

The errors I received were still being logged into the EventLog table. I would suggest to check the event log first and review any exceptions that have been logged.

Thanks Sarah for your reply.

For my site I stayed with the install rather than the update.  I decided to clean house and simply repost the content to the site.  (I didn't need to keep the users).

However, I'm sure my solution may not be an option for the many who should encounter this problem.
- sounds like you've found a possible cure - thanks for taking the time to share this with the others.
