High,
I installed DNN on Vista some months ago and it ran fine. After installing Vista SP1 I encounter a problem: the page does not load, Internet Explorer does not bring any error message, but from the status line, I can see that it always tries to reload the page and it seems that somewhen it is redirected to itself and starts loading and loading and loading... (Saying "Web site found" and "Loading http://dnn.local/default.aspx?tabid=36" and "Web site found" and "Loading..." etc. etc.). When I try to open the page in Apple Safari, it brings an error that says something like "too many connection repeats when opening..." (sorry, the message is in German, I don't know the exact translation). Firefox says something like "the requested web site redirects the request in a way that it can never be finished" (also there, this is only my transation and not the original error message).
In the site's logfile, i find the following:
2008-05-03 08:32:04 ::1 GET / - 80 - ::1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.0;+SLCC1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.04506;+InfoPath.2;+Tablet+PC+2.0) 302 0 0 149
2008-05-03 08:32:04 ::1 GET /Default.aspx tabid=36 80 - ::1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.0;+SLCC1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.04506;+InfoPath.2;+Tablet+PC+2.0) 302 0 0 31
The second line comes a thousand times, until I click the browser's stop button. The request by the Safari browser is quite similar, but stops after 16 lines:
2008-05-03 08:23:00 ::1 GET / - 80 - ::1 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+6.0;+de-DE)+AppleWebKit/525.18+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Version/3.1.1+Safari/525.17 302 0 0 46
2008-05-03 08:23:00 ::1 GET /Default.aspx tabid=36 80 - ::1 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+6.0;+de-DE)+AppleWebKit/525.18+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Version/3.1.1+Safari/525.17 302 0 0 31
In the Windows Application Event log, there is an entry saying something like
Event Code: 4005
Event message: forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied was invalid.
What I have tried: I deleted all the site's cookies, I deleted all the temporary ASP.Net files, I upgraded to DNN 04.08.02 (the upgrade procedure ran without any problem or error messages), I changed the pipeline mode from Classic to Default and back, I tried to change the hostname to something like "dummydomain", I removed the web site and tried to run it as http://localhost/DotNetNuke, I removed DNN and installed it from scratch - no success at all (the install routine ran without any error, all tables stored procedures etc. were created....).
Has anyone any idea????
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
