Hi there.
After I succesfully installed DNN on my development system, and later installed, configured and designed my site completly, I wanted to install it on my ISP.
I created the database, cloned it, using Microsoft's Database Migration tool, checked it manualy to see if it all succeeded,
then I uploaded the website completly, installed it using a virtual IIS directory, with the same name and settings, configured it as an application, asp.net 2.0, etc, etc..
I opened the PortalAlias table, changed the local alias that I used on my development system, and changed it to the www.mydomain.com/dotnetnuke_2 alias it should have now., so I only changed 'localhost' to ' www.mydomain.com' (but then the real DNS name of course)
When I try to acces the site using www.mydomain.com/dotnetnuke_2/default.aspx, it keeps redirecting to www.mycomain.com/dotnetnuke_2/default.aspx?tabid=36 and again, and again..
I have no idea what the reason for this could be.
I tryed creating errors on my development system, to get the same weird result, but I did not succeed in this. When I stop the database server, It gives a very nice message, saying that the site is down. And since this new site on my ISP is temparaly only accesible using authentication, I did the same thing on my developement system, but after typing the credentials, the site works normaly, so I don't know what to do now..
Can I enable some kind of logging maybe, or does anyone know what it could be?
Using FIDLER, (http debug proxy) I can see this happening ( a lot ):
