Front page loops..
Hello, I am hoping someone can point me in the right directions for
this.
I upgraded my 2.1 roller to 3.0, the problem I am seeing is that when I
hit the site via http://localhost:8080/roller/ in lynx I get "Location
URL is not absolute", and the page keeps reloading. When I hit it
through apache through a proxy, it is giving 301's in the apache error
log and keeps recycling itself, no page ever appears.
Going to a Blog directly works fine http://localhost:8080/roller/adam.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
-Adam

Yes, those are correct.
The default page for a blog is now always "Weblog"
And the day page is always "_day"
And BTW, I'm still trying to figure out how to reproduce the looping
problem that you guys are encountering.

I have just noticed while browsing the roller 3.0 database in MySql that the
WebSite table appears to have "strange" values for new weblogs I create (the
weblogs that were created while running roller 2.3 "seem" fine). For
example, I created two new weblogs, one called frontpage and one called
test. The frontpage weblog is the "Handle of weblog to serve as frontpage
blog". Both their entries in the WebSite table are similar, and are
something like:
id: 418155c80ef17a09010ef1944e550016
name: Test
handle: test
description: test
userid: 418155c80c58d07a010c58d3ee6e0006
defaultpageid: dummy
weblogdayid: dummy
<snip>
Are the values "dummy" correct?
Thanks in advance
John

I am also experiencing the same problem. I have roller 2.3 installed on a
Debian (Sarge) box with Tomcat 5.5.17 and MySql 5.0.24. I have a virtual
host set up and roller is running at a url something like
http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs. All works fine. When upgrading to roller
3.0 I copied the original roller database in MySql to a new database called
roller2 and then upgraded this database using the scripts provided. After
following the upgrade instructions, if I set up a new context called newblog
that maps to roller 3.0 the the url http://subdomain.domain.com/newblogs
works fine and I see roller 3.0. However, if I change the "newblogs" context
to the old "blogs" context I experience a similar error to Adam. I use
Firefox and it tells me that "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox
has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in
a way that will never complete."
Looking at the log files I see no error in roller.log or catalina.out. The
access log for the tomcat host included a line (multiple times) like:
xx.xx.xx.xx - - [16/Nov/2006:15:12:56 +0000] "GET /blogs/ HTTP/1.0" 301 -
Also, like Adam, if I go directly to a weblog using a url like
http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs/frontpage it displays. Indeed all seems to
work fine (e.g. logging in) except the displaying of the url
http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs.
I have set the "Absolute URL to site (if required)" to
http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs/ but alas the problem perisits.
It's as if roller 3.0 believes the url http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs is
an old url to a weblog and tries to redirect it, when in fact there was
never a weblog at the url but rather it was the url of the front page.

Try setting the absolute URL to your site on the Server Admin page.
Set it to this and see what happens?
http://localhost:8080/roller/
You mentioned what happens with Lynx. What happens with Firefox or IE?
