Hello,
I started an effort to upgrade an old 3.6 site to 4.4. I ran all the upgrade scripts on the database and that went very smoothly. I downloaded the no source version of 4.4, and hosted the site in IIS on a Windows Server. The site rendered and presumably upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 per the docs. So far so good!
I then downloaded the source code to run the site locally in Visual Studio. I copied the dataSettings file over to the local codebase, then tried running the site through Visual Studio. This is where the problems started. The site will not load, instead the browser throws an error that there are too many re-directs. I don't believe this is an SSL issue, because the site that's running fine on IIS is not configured to use SSL. Is there anything else that can cause this error?
