The friendly URL's in DNN 5 were working just fine with the default setup, but now when clicking on a menu button instead of going to for example '/about.aspx' it's going to '/About/tabid/130/Default.aspx.aspx'. And I cant even get to the page anymore when trying to browse to /about.aspx. The friendly urls in the host settings is enabled. Any idea what may have happened/what to try? thx

One thing to check would be the portalalias table to make sure that extra stuff isn't being inserted there. Is there anything that you have modified for this portal?

There was an alias that we added the other day, but that was after this started happening. I tried removing it so it just has mysite.com and www.mysite.com in the portal aliases, but its still doing it. Any other ideas?

In the friendly URLS section have any of the rules changed?

Match                                        Replace With          
.*DesktopDefault.aspx(.*)         ~/Default.aspx$1          
.*EditModule.aspx(.*)                ~/Default.aspx$1          
.*/TabId/(\d+)(.*)/Logoff.aspx   ~/Admin/Security/Logoff.aspx?tabid=$1
.*/TabId/(\d+)(.*)/rss.aspx         ~/rss.aspx?TabId=$1           .*Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx(.*)       ~/Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx$1           

  [^?]*/TabId/(\d+)(.*)             ~/Default.aspx?TabId=$1            .*BannerClickThrough.aspx(.*)         ~/DesktopModules/Admin/Banners/BannerClickThrough.aspx$1




have any settings changed on your server? It could worth checking IIS to see if anything has been changed.

Actually I just found out that I can change the pagename, then change it back and it will be ok again! Strange this is.. Thanks!

Now that you mention that though, my friendly url settings are:

Match Replace With
.*DesktopDefault.aspx(.*) ~/Default.aspx$1
.*EditModule.aspx(.*) ~/Default.aspx$1
.*/TabId/(\d+)(.*)/Logoff.aspx ~/Admin/Security/Logoff.aspx?tabid=$1
.*/TabId/(\d+)(.*)/rss.aspx ~/rss.aspx?TabId=$1
[^?]*/TabId/(\d+)(.*) ~/Default.aspx?TabId=$1



What's your RadUploadProgressHandler and bannerclickthrough business for?

Those are the defaults that come with DotNetNuke 5.2.1 fresh install, I guess it's related to Telerik Rad and the banners module.

I would install 5.2.1 on a local installation and then you can compare the full rules with how they should be on your live website.

Thanks,
