Liferay portal with "This webpage has a redirect loop"

I have the portal http://fut5.co configured with Liferay 6.1. However, there is a problem when viewing from the Web browser. The first time I visit the site everything works fine, but when I try to visit again, the next message appears:

"This webpage has a redirect loop"

To reproduce this problem, each time I have to clear the browser's cache. This is impacting my visitors when returning to my site.

First time: fut5.co -> fut5.co/home Second time: fut5.co -> Redirect loop

I configured the friendly url as: /portal Public pages: fut5.co Private pages: fut5

How can I fix this behavior? What do you think about that?

Try to set the "Home URL" property on "Control Panel > Portal Settings > Navigation" to "/".

I periodically run into this problem, Liferay gets corrupted. I find the only solution is to completely re-install the Liferay instance. I hope this doesn't happen once my application goes to a production environment.

I've seen this happening when you change the friendly URL for a site from "guest" to something else. A way to work around this, if you renamed to "something", is to go to http://localhost:8080/web/something instead of http://localhost:8080/ - then the redirect loop will not happen. There might be an issue already filed for this (Edit: LPS-27051, fixed in 6.1 GA2). The quickest workaround is to not rename the default site.

Could you please check this property in portal-ext.properties? Right now, when you hit direct url, it is defaulting to /web/guest and thus it is redirecting.

#
# Specify the site name that will default to the company's virtual host.
# If the specified site has a virtual host, then that will take precedence.
# If it does not, then it will use the company's virtual host. This property
# is useful to remove "/web/guest" (or any other site) from the default URL.
# For example, if this property is not set, then the default URL may be
# http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home. If this property is set, then the
# default URL may be http://localhost:8080/home.
#
virtual.hosts.default.site.name=Guest
