  Redirecting to the same page Reply Contact On my local machine (IIS 5), my application works fine...When i deploy this to my testing server (IIS 6), i can build the project. But when i try to run it, it says "Redirecting to servername/default.aspx". It keeps doing this forever and the page remains blank. However i can hit a test html page from within my test server(servername/test.html works)...It is just the default.aspx is causing some problem and I cant seem to hit a break point within page-init (on test servers) because it keeps redirecting forever. So i really dont know whats going on within my default.aspx page which is causing it to redirect.I am almost positive that it has to do with some setting within IIS (because the code and database are the same between local development and test servers). When i try the same thing on firefox, i get a error message - "Page isnt redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete".  Any thoughts/ideas?

That is how it is set up on my local machine and on the staging servers and they all work fine. If i set it up as a "Redirection to a URL", then IE displays a message saying that "IE cannot find the specified page".

So when I try to launch my default page, there is a infinite re-direct happening and in the bottom on the page, I find this message - "Website found. Redirecting to URL"...This keeps happening forever and the default page never shows up.

At this point, there is a infinite loop happening and there is no default page displayed (nothing shows up...just blank screen and the status bar taking forever). Is there a design inside IIS where you can cause it to loop?

I would think it has to be one or the other here ...

  Re: Redirecting to the same page Reply Contact I have the same code on my local machine. However I run IIS 5 on my local machine and everything works fine...I copy the code and database from my machine and deploy it to test servers (which use IIS 6) and then this infinite loop happens...It seems really wierd though. Because the settings on my local machine and test servers are the same (code, database and no SSL).
