I've installed nopCommerce 2.8 using the Winhost app installer. After installation I was forwarded to the customer login page rather than the storefront. I can log in but I cant leave the customer login page. Also, my URLs look like this: /login?ReturnUrl=%2fnopCommerce%2f /login?ReturnUrl=%2fnopCommerce%2fblog /login?ReturnUrl=%2fnopCommerce%2fnewproducts etc. yet they display only the customer login page. Any ideas?
During the installation make sure you don't select "Sample Database" when setting up the connection to the SQL database in nopCommerce's installation wizard. Selecting that option will cause this problem. Reinstall nopCommerce and make sure you don't select "Sample Database".
