When i logout of dnn 9.8, i hit a 404 error with the following message:

Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found and might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. It is recommended that you start again from the homepage. Feel free to contact us if the problem persists or if you cannot find what you’re looking for.

I am sure that i caused it by changing home pages. i renamed my old home page, then renamed the new home page, then used the site settings interface to select the new home page. after that logout redirection fails.

i know that i could explicitly set it in site settings, but since i didn't have to do that before, i don't want to do so now. the previous behavior was to stay on the page where logout was invoked.

the url shown when the 404 error is displayed is:
https://www.mydomain.com/tabid/0/Default.aspx

i thought that there were friendly url rewriters at work, but it appears broken at this point.

same problem occurs with login. i would like to direct the user to wherever he was trying to go before being stopped by login.

the problem seems resolved after doing the following

1. set redirection for login and logout to home  page
2. logout to test
3. set redirection for login and logout to
4. logout -> no more 404 errors
5. login -> no more 404 errors.

If this happens again, the URL tells you the page causing the problem. In your case the tabid/0 part of the URL says that it is trying to go to the page with tabid equal to zero. You can look this up in the database's Tabs table, and I guess that there is no such tab. Setting the redirects gives you an actual target for the redirection.

Happened to me too, in DNN 9.8.x so far. Changing the pages (in website settings) to redirect after login and logout to the start page fixed the problem (and if the login was not called from the start page, the redirect is going to the page visited befor, as the querystring obviously overrules the setting).

Yes, this is a bug, but you can use this as a workaround in the meantime.

Happy DNNing!
