I've followed the DNN 7 install tutorials. However, when I try to launch my page, I get the following error. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?? This webpage has a redirect loop The webpage at http://localhost/dmpbpo/Install/Ins...izard.aspx has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer. |

One possible cause of this error is that you have a trailing slash in the HTTPAlias field in the PortAlias table. If so, you'll need to remove it. The easiest way to do that is by using SQL Server Management Studio. Now, is this actually occurring during the installation? If so, that isn't the problem. And, as this appears to be a new installation, one thing that you can do is delete everything and try the install again. Double check as you go along and make sure you are following the steps exactly. Pay special attention to issues of file permissions. |

I cant seem to find the portalias table in the SQL Server Management Studio. I get this error when I try to launch the website to actually install dnn 7 using the install wizard. I've tried deleting everything and redoing it and still no luck. |

Yeah, you won't have tables in the database until after the installation has run. You might try creating another website on the same server with nothing but an index.html file in it and see if that works. |

When I created an index.html file, it worked fine, it gave me access to the directory. |

When you say it "worked fine" does that mean that the web page was displayed? Now, rename that index.html page to app_offline.htm and browse back to the site. If this fails, it means that something is wrong with the ASP.NET installation or something like that. Note that you can/should also drop the index.html file into your DotNetNuke directory, and see if that gets served up correctly at the DNN URL. If it does, rename it to app_offline.htm and try that. What happens then? |

If you have moved the site to a different server or even just a different domain name the problem might be in the site settings in the entry for the default portal alias. But if the site is not loading, you must edit the data in the PortalSettings table to alter the settings. In the PortalSettings table, find the record for your portalID (probably 0 but maybe not) where [Settingname]= DefaultPortalAlias. Clear the value on this record. Then find the record for PortalAliasMapping for the same portalID and if it is Redirect change it to CANONICALURL. Save the record and you might have to restart the application pool or touch (edit) the web.config to cause a site restart. That should clear it up. - Mark Buelsing

I'm experiencing the same problem, but only when I have dnn installed under "Default Website" as an application. When trying to run the install wizard, I get the redirect loop. If I create it as its own separate website, the install wizard runs. I have triple checked permissions on the folder giving Network Service modify, changed the App Pool to use Network Service, added permissions to my SQL database for Network Service and it is db_owner. Why would this run fine as a website, but not as an application? Thanks, Tim |

Tim, It's been years since I have tried to install DNN that way. I always do installs as a separate site, and each install gets its own AppPool. Is there any particular reason you want to do the install this way? I'd recommend NOT doing that. But, I'm willing to listen to reason. |

Joe, It's just what I've always done. But that doesn't mean I'm not willing to change for best practices, or what works. So with that being said and your recommendation against doing it as an application, I've just configured a host header for the new website and updated the hosts file and kept it as a separate website. Thanks, Tim |

I recommend using x.dnndev.me as the site names. The dnndev.me domain always resolves to localhost. So, there's no messing with host headers and editing the host table, reducing a few more things you need to do to get a site running locally. |
