Navigation links to multiplied sublevels after upgrade

[rollanders]

I have upgraded from 2.9.5 to 3.5.25 using Live update. It worked OK. Startpage is OK and also pages in the menu with no drop-down. But when clicking on drop-downs I get an error No layout is specified.
I have checked all pages and there is a layout specified. But looking at the breadcrumb there are odd things. One example, the page I get linked to is beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/kalender/program/program/program/program instead of beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/kalender/program, ie there are 3 sublevels added to the adress.

You can have a look at http://beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se

The navigation is made from nav_default. It is some level 1 and some some drop-downs with a second level of links.
Any suggestion on where the error is?

The site is currently in maintenance mode.

Sorry. Now it is activated.

The multiple levels are caused by redirects. For instance

http://beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/barn/guldgruvan redirects to
http://beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/barn/...an/guldgruvan/ which redirects
http://beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/barn/...an/guldgruvan/ which redirects to
http://beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/barn/...an/guldgruvan/ which then generates a 501 error

The Redirect seems to be caused by Contao itself, I am not sure why this would happen though.

Many thanks. This is probably a first step.

The firstlevel in the dropdown meny is an empty page. In the original set up the first level is an empty page. Thats why they set up to redirect to the next page, eg kalender is empty and is redirected to /kalender/program

I have removed the redirect and now I get the correct adress, eg kalender/program, and not the multiple sublevels, but still get an error No layout is specified. But I have specified a layout in the backend. And the layout I have choosen is referred to as located in fe_page(global) . I do not know why it says fe_page(global). I have only fe_page.xhtml. I have renamned all tpl-files manually to xhtml. Is that correct?

And click on calender brings up the empty page. I tried to set the redirect and leaving the redirect page blank, but this gave the same error.

Edit. I detected I have not given the root-page a Layout. But now I only get the root-page all the time. I will try further.

Hm, may be the problem here is that Contao thinks, that /program is an auto_item parameter and thus generates the page "kalender" - which of course is a redirect to "kalender/program". It's an interesting problem, I'll do some testing on that.

fe_page is not the page layout. fe_page is the template that you assign within the page layout. Make sure that a page layout is selected in the website root.

In some cases you might need to select or deselect the page layout on all pages again when upgrading from Contao 2.x so that the correct page layout is selected (or none).

Right. I choose one of three layouts and the comes from the template fe_page.
I started to deselect - save- select again - save. Empty the cache. For the kalender meny item. I do not get the layout error but I get the same start-page all the time for all the alternatives in the menu except the empty /Kalender/-page.

Hm, not sure what's going on on your site.

Btw. did you update your .htaccess as well? If not, you should.

[rollanders]

How can I know if it is updated? It has the correct date when the update was done.
But looking on the /beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/public_html/.htaccess it looked like an old version. The beta.korskyrkan-jkpg.se/public_html/.htaccess.default is completely different. I tried to replace .htaccess with the new version but the the site crashed - became not accessible.

You always have to manually update the .htaccess. I suggest you do the following:

1. Make a backup of your old .htaccess.
2. Copy the .htaccess.default from the newest Contao LTS version.
3. Rename it to .htaccess.
4. Change these lines

     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(htm|php|js|css|map|htc|png|gif|jpe?g|ico|xml|csv|txt|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|mp3|ogg|oga|eot|otf|tt[cf]|woff2?|svgz?|pdf|zip|gz)$
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteRule .*\.html$ index.php [L]

   to

     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(htm|php|js|css|map|htc|png|gif|jpe?g|ico|xml|csv|txt|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|mp3|ogg|oga|eot|otf|tt[cf]|woff2?|svgz?|pdf|zip|gz)$
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
     RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

   since you are using no URL suffix.
5. Add any other custom directives that you still need.

[rollanders]

OK

have done that, and the site is the same. We have tinkered a bit with tho of the CSS files (\content\layout.css and \system\contao.css) to get a better view in mobiles. I can find the layout.css and replaced that with the original but it did not help. I cannot find the contao.css

May this be an explanation?
