Problem using Umbraco 7 in virtual folder in Chrome: infinite loop redirect
Hi,
I'm trying to install Umbraco v7.4.3 on a server, on subfolder configured as virtual app, and when accessing the site to launch the installer, on Chrome I get a sort of infinite loop redirect that ends with a 404.
Have you tried creating Umbraco as an application? Also have you set up the umbracoconfig file to run umbraco as a virtual directory? I did these two and setting it up was a breeze.
Overzelous system admin had disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication, that's why it was working with IE (which used windows auth to authenticate) and not with Chrome (which only uses basic auth, which was disabled).
Problem using Umbraco 7 in virtual folder in Chrome: infinite loop redirect
Hi,
I'm trying to install Umbraco v7.4.3 on a server, on subfolder configured as virtual app, and when accessing the site to launch the installer, on Chrome I get a sort of infinite loop redirect that ends with a 404.
If I launch the same on IE the redirect works fine stopping after few redirects:
I never had such problem when installing Umbraco in the root node of the domain or running on my dev box.
Then I managed to install all using IE and now I've the same problem when trying to connect to the backoffice:
if I type
http://locapp-t-web1:985/pressinfo/umbraco
I get redirected tohttp://locapp-t-web1:985/pressinfo/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fpressinfo%2fumbraco
while in IE theumbraco
page gets executed and loads angular views and so on.Bug? Misconfiguration of IIS?
Any advice?
Thx Simone

How do you configure umbraco.config to run as virtual directory?
Yeah, it obviously was a virtual application on IIS :)
There is a setting which must be set to true on umbracoSettings.config. I think its ResolveUrlsFromTextString
I don't think this is the problem, as IE works, and chrome doesn't
Aaah!! Sorry just re-read your original post.
Simon,
Have you tried looking into the Chrome developer tools to see whether there is anything logged into the console?
