I have used your example in one of my web applications. I
have allowed access to the registration page as well as
the homepage. I have a login box on the homepage where
users can log in, but it does not word. If the username
and password are correct the following two lines are
executed:

 FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username.Text, True)
 Response.Redirect("/adpagemembers/browse.aspx")

Instead of the user being redirected to the browse.aspx
page they are directed to the login page as described in
the web.config file. How can I log the users in from the
homepage?
