This is the website I got the solution from:

http://www.bestwebsites.co.nz/dotnetnuke/solving-the-dotnetnuke-redirect-loop/

Without it when I go to the first page DNN goes into an infinite redirect loop.

In IE it just hangs. In firefox it actually says that it has a redirect loop and has stopped loading the page.

I only found out about it the first time when I didnt have firefox installed when I read the logs and there were thousands of gets to Defauld.aspx, several per second.

Maybe someone has a better solution to the redirect problem then this web page?

Thanks.

Just occured to me the second time around thats kind of a hack and I know enough that procedure calls change so maybe an IO call changed between 2.0 and 3.5 and DNN is using it differently then in 3.5 assuming DNN is still using 2.0?

Again thanks for the help. Wish I could be more help hehe. Don't enjoy having other people solve my problems when I assume they have their own to worry about. :)

**** SOLVED MY PROBLEM ****

I never actually found a good tutorial on installing with SQL Server 2008 Express.  2005 yes but not 2008.

Well I was using the 2005 express connect string not really knowing what it was having never dealt with mssql servers before. (used mysql a little)

I found another post in these forums on how to get around the infinite redirct bug and decided I was going to try that instead of the version hack.

The post there had me modify the portal table in the database.  I went to the database that I had created and found there was no portal table!  Then I realized there were no tables at all! Just the default ones the server creates.

Turned out me and 1 divided by infinite wisdom had not realized that I was using the 2005 Express flat file and not the 2008 sql server solution.

2008 express is aparently as near as I can tell more like the real server and less like 2005 express. Atleast in the sense that it uses a real server as opposed to a flatfile. (Assuming I am even saying that right.)

So after some fiddling with my server information/logins etc. I was able to actually have DNN install to the sql server and not a flat file.

After running through the installation the portal opened up just fine with no version hack and I immidiately went into the host -> create definitions area and low and behold no FileIOPermissions error! W00T! :D

Thanks for all your help. God bless everyone. Back to hacking my way forward. :)

(Sorry for the double post if my other post ever shows up.)
