I've been trying to figure out a strange error on a parent portal and was hoping someone out there may have some ideas to try.

This is my environment:
DNN Community Version 07.00.06 (121)
Windows Server 2008 IIS 7.5
AppPool is configured to use an AD user for identity

The issue is that when I create a new parent portal that it will redirect to the following URL: http://mydomain/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f . I have a separate site with a parent portal with a close to identical setup that seems to work fine. I created a separate site in IIS and pointed it to the same directory as the host site. The parent portal shares the same appPool as the host site.

Anytime you try to hit the root of the site it will redirect to the above. When you attempt to go to a page such as Home.aspx the page will load, but will be missing just about all essential files. This is what Firebug reports via the console:

Where it gets a bit stranger is if I authenticate and view the pages everything looks correct. I double checked the permissions and everything view wise within DNN appears to be okay. I tried removing the permissions on the folder itself and re-applying but that didn't seem to work. I also tried deleting the parent portal and re-creating it a few times but never had any luck.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Cathal,

 I appreciate the suggestion. I tried Fiddler to see if I had any luck. It appears after the first hop requesting the root "/" it redirects toa 404 of /Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f. When attempting to request Home.aspx it returns a 404 attempting to redirect to  /Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f with the loan exception of the favicon.ico file.

 As a test, I had another website that I followed the same steps for (with the exception of file location and Database), and successfully spun up a parent portal. I returned to this site, deleted the directory, database etc and reinstalled but received the same problem--even while using the App Pool as the working site.

 It does seem like a permission issue, but so far I haven't seen a difference between my working site and this one. It's strange that even starting from scratch resulted in the same issue.

 

I believe I sorted out the cause... but I just need to get to the bottom of how exactly to resolve the issue.

I believe the issue is related to the Active Directory Authentication Module. I came across this thread: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/forums/for... which reported a similar issue.

I think I just need to learn more about the command line commands.
