I have had LoginEngine working like a champ. So I decided to install  
UserEngine. When I go to [http://localhost:3000/user/login](http://localhost:3000/user/login) it keeps on  
trying to redirect to /user/login until Firefox decides to stop trying.  
Here is my log:

127.0.0.1 - - [05/Feb/2006:20:34:17 Central Standard Time] “GET  
/user/login HTTP/1.1” 302 98

- → /user/login  
127.0.0.1 - - [05/Feb/2006:20:34:17 Central Standard Time] “GET  
/user/login HTTP/1.1” 302 98
- → /user/login  
127.0.0.1 - - [05/Feb/2006:20:34:17 Central Standard Time] “GET  
/user/login HTTP/1.1” 302 98
- → /user/login

Any ideas? If I comment out references to the UserEngine in  
application.rb and environment.rb then things work like they did before  
I installed LoginEngine.

THanks, scott.

Did you follow the installation instructions for the user engine? Most  
significantly you need to run “rake bootstrap” to generate the  
permissions, and change the before\_filter from :login\_required to  
:authorize\_action. My guess is that you’re simply not authorized to  
perform /user/login.

I had a similar issue, which rounded out something like enabling:

```
config :use_email_notification, true

```

Try it and see if it works, if it is that, we can track it down.
