I am also experiencing the same problem. I have roller 2.3 installed on a Debian (Sarge) box with Tomcat 5.5.17 and MySql 5.0.24. I have a virtual host set up and roller is running at a url something like http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs. All works fine. When upgrading to roller 3.0 I copied the original roller database in MySql to a new database called roller2 and then upgraded this database using the scripts provided. After following the upgrade instructions, if I set up a new context called newblog that maps to roller 3.0 the the url http://subdomain.domain.com/newblogs works fine and I see roller 3.0. However, if I change the "newblogs" context to the old "blogs" context I experience a similar error to Adam. I use Firefox and it tells me that "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." Looking at the log files I see no error in roller.log or catalina.out. The access log for the tomcat host included a line (multiple times) like:
xx.xx.xx.xx - - [16/Nov/2006:15:12:56 +0000] "GET /blogs/ HTTP/1.0" 301 - Also, like Adam, if I go directly to a weblog using a url like http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs/frontpage it displays. Indeed all seems to work fine (e.g. logging in) except the displaying of the url http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs. I have set the "Absolute URL to site (if required)" to http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs/ but alas the problem perisits. It's as if roller 3.0 believes the url http://subdomain.domain.com/blogs is an old url to a weblog and tries to redirect it, when in fact there was never a weblog at the url but rather it was the url of the front page.
