DotNetNuke Error: URL blinks several times in status bar and doesn't browse the site :'(

PROBLEM:
The address blinks many times in the status bar and finally browser shows the 'Page Cannot be displayed' error and sometimes this blinking loop never ends.

EXPLANATION
It normally happens when you change the alias of the portal in 'portalalias' table.

SOLUTION :

  1. Make sure the alias in the portalalias table is correct OR
  2. Restart the site from IIS. If you don't have rights to do that u can just make a fake change in web.config and upload it again. The site will be restarted. 
  3. If site is running on local host then simply kill the aspnet_wp.exe processe
  4. Browse the site again,

IF problem persists, then get help from your host, there must be some issues in NS servers.

 Cheers

  1. There are 2 other reasons of getting redirect loops on DotNetNuke websites are
    1. The problem occurs when you use medium trust in web.config
    Ans: Change the trust level to FULL

    2. The website is on a port number other than port 80
    Ans: Set usePortNumber="true" in web.config
