No redirection on login page
It seems that your windows account doesn't have a role that is allowed in the admin location in web.config. This is sometimes a problem with non-english versions of Windows where the administrators group is not called Administrators

Thanks for your reply! that was precisely the problem, 'cause my new computer has Windows 7 in swedish, so after adding Administratörer to the allowed roles in web.config it works, however when it redirects me to the Admin URL after logging in, then i get an "Invalid Link" error, like the URL can't be found.
Does it ring any bell?

Maybe your VPP configuration points the ui folder to c:\Program Files and your new PC is 64-bit so it should be changed to Program Files (x64). Or if it's in Swedish just Program instead of Program Files.

That was the first thing i checked and the physical paths appeared as correct when I copied/pasted them in windows explorer, even though they pointed to "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program (x86)" which is the real name of the folder in my swedish window. I missed this detail which now I have corrected in web.config and made sure the paths are valid. However I still get the same error! Don't know where or what else to check..

I suggest you install an empty site of the same version using deployment center and compare the configs, for example the VPP paths.
Also, does the UIurl in siteSettings point to the same path as the vpp for the UI declares?

Thank you for your help. I did what you suggested and still no luck. Compared the web.config from an empty site with the one I'm using and even downloaded a fresh copy from the server and still nothing. The VPP point to valid locations and the siteSettings attributes are correct as well (siteURL, uiURL, utilURl). I send the most interesting part of my web.config, in case I'm missing something which at this point is highly possible 'cause i've been scrolling up and down a thousand times already:

Hi Kenia,
The virtual role "Administrators" should include the swedish administrator role "administratörer" as well. So you should not need to add it to the paths. Can you enable EPiServer logging to see if you get any errors?
Jun 07, 2011 17:17
Toni, if I didn't include the "administratörer" role in the virtual paths I would not be redirected from the login page even though the login succedeed, that's how i started this thread.
The problem is solved now, but unfortunately i still don't know what was wrong. I simply decided to start from scratch, so I created an empty project, copied the files from my project and change very little config options in the web.config, and now it's working perfectly. It's a relief, but it makes me a little frustrated that i never got to know where the problem was in my original project 'cause everything looked just fine.
Thank you guys for your time and help!
Cheers,
/Kenia

still Magnus, your first reply was the solution to my original problem, so fair enough to point it out on the site =)

Hej!
I've fetched a project from our TFS, we're using Episerver CMS 5 SP1 and IIS 7 for this project. After fixing the .dll references and solving other minor issues I've managed to get an error free solution. My problem is that now when I try to login on CMS to enter admin mode with my Windows admin credentials, the login is successful as there's no error, but there's never a redirection to the admin mode default page. The URL looks like this http://www.kulturradet.com/Util/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fkultur%2fUI%2fadmin. I've checked web.config and the paths seem to be correct.
This might be something pretty simple but i can't find the issue.
Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
