DotNetNuke "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded"

Got this one yesterday when reconfiguring some portals. Solution was that I needed to create the sub directory reflecting the child portal alias I had created. This was not automatically done by DotNetNuke when adding an alias. Thus my alias was www.company.com/iberia and for http://www.company.com/iberia to operate, there should be a folder named iberia with a default.aspx page that performs a redirection into the portal system.

  • i suspect you're missing the necessary permissions. You need to grant read, write and modify permissions to the webroot, so it can create child portal folders.

  • Thanks for writing. My site does have modify permissions, but your note reminded me that I got lazy because there were 9 Portals to alter and I hacked the PortalAlias table directly in the database.

    Suprise, suprise: hacking the database doesn't fire the code that creates the portal alias subfolder.
