Hi Aderson,

Thank you for the reply and explanation. I understand the reason for a 301 redirect, but it should surely apply to the old URL(s), shouldn't it?

The new URL should have a status of 200. So I don't understand why changing the page url more than once causes the 'page redirected too many times' error.

Also, it isn't clear from the UI that multiple redirects will occur, or at least wasn't clear to me, I only discovered it occurring when the browsers objected.

There is also a 'do not redirect' option, I haven't tried it but if it accepts the URL given in the page URL and doesn't cause 

a redirect that would be a better option than deleting entries in the TabUrls table.

Hi Aderson,

Thank you for your reply.

This happened if I tried editing the page URL more than once. So, for example, it was originally set by DNN to:

Blog/The-Hike/Week-1/Day-1

Then I wanted to change it to make all lower case and remove hyphens, but sometimes I was careless and changed it to:
blog/thehike/week1/Day-1

It works so far, just one edit. But realising my mistake I then make a further edit to change it to:

blog/thehike/week1/day1

Now I get the too many redirects error.

But from the 3 URLs above I can't imagine that it would loop.
I don't have an exact example but it was something like that, I'm sure each URL was unique different.

Great if you can get a 'tip of the week' out of it. I can try creating a new page and give you the exact details if you need it.

Best Regards,

Steve

 

 

 

Hi Aderson,

I'm amazed, I would never have thought of that. Yes, putting Fiddler on it is a good idea, I'll try that next time it happens.

Great to have a solution too. But I think something's wrong somewhere.

Thank you once again for your help.
