I converted an application from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010. It is not clear to me how the navigation works but everything is working fine in SP2010. Now I have tried upgrading to SP2013 and it is broken. I added the mime types for htm/html and
I see them if I use a powershell script to display the allowed mime types. That is what I had to do to get the 2010 version to work. I still don't understand how this app redirects. Here is what happens:
In 2010 navigate to http://myalgo2010, redirects tohttp://myalgo2010/algorithms/index.htm, and everything works fine.
In 2013 navigate to http://myalgo2013 redirects tohttp://myalgo2013/default.htm and then redirects tohttp://myalgo2010/algoritjms/index.htm which it can't get to becaus the 2010 server is shutdown. Note it is trying to go back to the 2010 application. If a try to go tohttp://myalgo2013/algorithms/index.htm it works fine. The hidden redirection is failing.
Algorithms is a document library. If I open this app up in designer I never see the list of documents to do any kind of right click and set index.htm as default. There is a place to edit a site home page on the tab for this site but that just appears to be a page that either doesn't exist (I havnen't saved it) or is not used. I have looked at the WelcomePage setting using powershell but that is not set in 2010 or 2013.
So I still don't understand how this redirection is happening and it is now broken in 2013 which wants to redirect back to the 2010 version. Any ideas?
