Redirect beating out URL path and creating redirect loop Currently ran a bunch of updates on our site, and we're experiencing this issue:


Create nodea at /nodea
Change nodea's path to /nodeb

a redirect will be written added to nodeb: /nodea -> /nodeb

Create a new new node, and call it nodea, so the URL path then becomes /nodea for it
If you try to go to the new /nodea page, the redirect rule catches it first and sends you to /nodeb


I'm not sure what caused this, and it's a huge issue. (That example is, of course, just to show what's occurring; it's not the exact use case, but pretty close.)

Can anyone give me an idea on how to fix this? Or at least where to start looking?
This has since been corrected with an update to the redirect module.

There's now an "enabled" field on redirects, and when a conflict occurs (e.g. a new active alias is entered when that path is already a redirect), the redirect becomes disabled.
