Hello all,

 I had a working CS2.0 install (test) and I wanted to start working with the release 2.1 beta that was released recently. I have a Win2k3 box and a separate sql 2005 box. Asp2.0 and such... Like I said the 2.0 setup was working and I was showing my mgmt what I could do with this product. I showed them the dell site and some others and they liked the tag feature for its visual effect - mgmt likes visual Stick out tongue and I like happy mgmt, they buy me more toys.

I did the cs2.0to2.1beta1 upgrade.sql (it seemed successful)
I created a new folder for the 2.1 files (called it web21b)
pointed inetmgr to the new directory (the cs website under Default Web Site)
changed the web.config to have the same (working) sql connect string as I had on my 2.0 site
when I pull up the site it don't get anything - just a blank page, no error, nothing

upon further inspection with help from a knowledgable iis admin (at least more than me) he pointed me to this conclusion -
The site is forcing a redirection back on itself, which is essentially an endless recursion.  The IIS access log shows that each request results in an HTTP 302 Object Moved status, which is a redirection.   


2006-07-26 22:14:59 W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 GET /cs/default.aspx - 80 - 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.2;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727) 302 0 0
2006-07-26 22:14:59 W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 GET /cs/default.aspx - 80 - 127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.2;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727) 302 0 0
2006-07-26 22:14:59 W3SVC1 127.0.0.1 GET /cs/default.aspx - 80 - 127.0.0.1

I pulled the headers and html of the request and found this:


<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>\r\n
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/cs/">here</a>.</h2>\r\n
</body></html>\r\n
….

You can see that all it is doing is sending the request back to /cs/, which automatically loads the default.aspx page, which redirects back to /cs/ and so forth. 

The vendor needs to provide a piece of code that does not automatically redirect itself.  I suspect the problem resides in one of these lines of code.  All of the aspx pages throughout the site include these lines of code and all of them force the endless redirect.

<%@ Import Namespace="CommunityServer.Components" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="CommunityServer.Discussions.Components" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="CommunityServer.Blogs.Components" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="CommunityServer.Galleries.Components" %>
  

What am I missing? I can post/attach files or go offline with someone and just report the fix later to the forum.

Mucho thanks to all the respond to help this cs newb

I missed beta2 being released. I'll try the web install and see if my issues are resolved.
