URL Redirection Issue in DNN - url

In my local environment of a particular site, when i click on a particular link ,it redirects to the same page but in the url it shows that the page has been visited.Again when i click on the link, it will direct me to that page. Any reason as to why this happens and what could be the possible solution.
For example: My sites name is abc.com. It has pages like help, contact etc. When i am on my homepage and click on help it redirects me back to my home page but in my browser the URL is shown as abc.com/help.
When i click on help again , it redirects me to the help page(URL in browser is abc/help/Help) on the second click.

This can happen if the cache or system index has been corrupted. The best solution is to typically stop & start the application and see if it comes back.
If it is still an issue and you are on an older version of DNN, make sure that the PortalAlias table doesn't have a trailing / on your portal alias.
If this isn't the case, it is possible that a custom URL impacted this, but doubtful.

MVC app redirecting to domain name

I have inherited an MVC app which seems to not want to start properly.
When I run the app it initially goes to http://localhost:63744 but then immediately 301 redirects to http://www.thecompanydomainname.com.
I can't seem to find what is causing the redirect I have looked in the home controller and it seems to have an index action but before it gets there the redirect is happening. I should also mention that this mvc site is partly using Umbraco.
I realise that this is impossible to diagnose without having access to the project but I just wondered if anyone have any ideas as to why this might be redirecting and where I should look for the redirecting code?
Many thanks,
Kiran
I was being stupid. The browser had cached the first 301 (perm redirect) and from that point on simply redirected the request before it got to the application.
I solved (in chrome) this by going to chrome://net-internals. On the right of the top red status bar, click on the down arrow ▼ to open the drop-down menu, and under the "Tools" group, choose "Clear cache".

Get Make Home Page checkbox back for page content item in Orchard CMS

I am working on learning Orchard. I have got my development machine in a state where it will not load the home page. I get a 404 error with this message...
Server Error in '/OrchardLocal' Application 404
I realized that it is because no content item is set as the home page. However, the checkbox for making a page (or anything else) the home page is not showing in the edit page screen.
How do I fix this? I need the Make this a Home page checkbox back or some other way to accomplish the same thing.
Is there a way to do this in the database directly (which I realize is a hack but might let me move the ball forward on the problem).
I thought I would mention the EXACT exception thrown by the error is "The controller for path '/OrchardLocal/' was not found or does not implement IController."
Any help is appreciated. If I can't figure this out it seems I will be back to doing Orchard from scratch (new pull, new db etc) which seems to happen EVERY time I try to learn Orchard.
Here are the Parts I have on the Page Content Type. This is probably not the default list because I have been messing with it to get it fixed.
Common
Publish Later
Title
Autoroute
Body
Containable
Navigation
Identity
Menu
For the record I added the blog Module to the site and added a blog. But same behavior when I create a blog...no Make this the Home page and no way to set the permalink.
Do you have the AutoRoute Part attached to the Page Content type.
Check to make sure that your User has the permissions to set a content item as the homepage
To set an item as a homepage just set its permalink to an empty string.

opening default browser with delphi at specific position

I want to open a web page at default browser at a specific position and also open another webpages at that one, not new task of that browser. maybe user opens new task of that browser but by clicking a button in my delphi program the selected web page have to open at first one. is that possible? my company wants me to program such thing BUT I do not know how to do. I really appricate any help. thanks.
There are instructions here to open the default browser, but you may even be able to "run" a url, as you can from the Windows run command. You then need to retain the handle of that process so that you can do something with it.
To open a web page at a particular point you would ideally use a named anchor in the page, ie, the bit after a hash: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_a_name If you don't have control of the page and there are no named anchors you could try scrolling: How to scroll the scrollbar in external application via WinAPI?

Something wrong with redirects on my Joomla 1.5.18 site

My Joomla 1.5.18 site, I enabled login, when I click login the page I get sent to is NOT styled with CSS. If I login it redirects to the home page and it is not styled anymore either.
It looks like it is recursively appending stuff to the URL incorrectly.
http://www.myjoomlasite.org/index.php/index.php/login
if I click on home page or login links it keeps putting more and more index.php entries in the URL, and sometimes on the end. The following is what I get when I try and go to a JEvents menu item.
http://www.myjoomlasite.org/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/upcomingevents/month.calendar/2010/06/09/index.php
Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I don't know what to search for on Google apparently, and none of the Joomla! books I have address this.
I figured it out I had turned on Search Engine Friendly URLs in SEO Settings under Global Configuration. Turning this back off fixed the problem. Now I guess another question will be along the lines on how to get the Search Engine Friendly URL's to work again.
Make sure you link to stylesheets and images using a link that starts with a leading slash and therefore counts from the root.
It is the browser that evaluates the URL for those resources, based on the URL of the currently viewed HTML page. Never use relative links for these resources.

Clicking relative link goes to about:<relative link> which does not show wanted page

I am using version 14.67.9 of TembeddedWB in a project in delphi 2007. I use TembeddedWB in combination with loadfromstring. That all works like I want it to but when clicking on a link in the page it goes to a page I am not expecting. If for instance the page is on a particular IMDB result site and one clicks on the link the browser goes to about:/title/tt1041829/. I guess I forgot to set some extra property or I am doing something else wrong. If somebody here can point me in the right way i would appreciate that.
It looks like the browser's current URL is not updated and the default "about:blank" is used. I guess this may happen when you don't navigate to the web site directly by Navigate or Navigate2 method but load the HTML from a local file or stream.
Edit: I see, you are using LoadFromString which confirms that.
In that case, it should be possible to use OnBeforeNavigate2 event to fix the URL.
The problem is that the web page you are accessing uses relative links and the reference point that it would be relative too is your loadfromstring which loads through the "about:blank" page. Another way of fixing this would be to inject a &LT;BASE href="http://www.originaldomain.com/originalpath"&GT; tag in the HTML header (between the &LT;HEAD&GT; and &LT;/HEAD&GT; tags) which points to the location the page was accessed from. This will tell the browser where relative tags start from and will fix the problem without requiring inspection of every link.
