Hi Peter and all. I'm preparing to set up DMX for a customer who have an existing site in DNN 4.9, which is managed by another web developer. More on this later. I have DMX 5.2.2 and have installed it on a test version of DNN 5.2.0 - everything seems to go fine. I try installing same DMX on a test version of DNN 4.9.5 and the module installation goes fine. However when I add the "Document Exchange Professional" module to a page, the browser hangs trying to display that page (for ever after). Firefox says: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." - an infinite redirect on http://localhost/dnn4test/default.aspx?tabid=74 Other pages are ok. If I uninstall DMX the page comes right (the DMX module having been removed of course). If I then reinstall DMX, and then re-add module to the page, it hangs again. When I started this project I recommended the website be upgrade to "the latest version of DNN" which at the time I think was 5.2.0 (since then 5.2.1 being a disaster area and I haven't tried 5.2.2. yet). The web developer was reluctant (and I think I would have been in his position). Any suggestions? Do I press the DNN upgrade issue, or should DMX 5.2 be working satisfactorily with DNN 4.9? (I've seen nothing in release notes suggesting otherwise) - Walter

Hi Walter, I run it myself in 495 without any issues, so that it not the reason I think. Even in FF everything goes well. My guess is that there is something going on between the skin and the module. I have never witnessed what you're seeing but I can't think of anything else. A redirect? Very suspicious. The only calls after the page has loaded are Ajax calls and this is subject to JS so it can potentially be screwed up by JS in the skin (or other modules on the page) but it's rare. If you want I'll look at the page for you. Or you can use Fiddler to check what is causing the redirect. Peter

Thanks for the confirmation that it should work. I didn't get to the bottom of the redirect issue, but I got the site upgraded to DNN 5.2 and DMX is working fine on it. I would tend to agree that the skin was most likely upsetting it. For now I'm not worried now about making it work on 4.9. Now I have to make the skin look right (white text on black background, ugh). There may be some template-fiddling to do here.
