Redirect Loop when trying to install Vanilla 2 RC
Hi!
I'm trying to install the Vanilla 2 RC-version.
The last versions all could be installed to my webspace.
I deleted all the old files and copied the new ones onto the server.
But when I try to access my forum's address, I always get a redirection error!
Firefox says:
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
It seems like it's getting redirected from forum.xxxx.de/dashboard/setup to forum.xxxx.de/index.php/dashboard/setup to forum.xxxx.de/setup/dashboard/setup to forum.xxxx.de/index.php/setup/dashboard/setup and so on...
I'm using a .hhtaccess-file which worked like a charm until now:
DirectoryIndex index.php/
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L,R=301]
When using the .htaccess-file from github, it redirects to forum.xxxx.de/dashboard/setup but says "No input file specified."
Any ideas what causes the loop?
It worked well before...
Thanks!

During some of my early experiments with nginx I found that replacing
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]with
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rewrite=$1 [QSA,L]helped out a bit. I'm still not sure what the error is though, we've tested quite extensively on different configurations and worked through quite a slew of issues.
Can you provide more details about your environment?

I tried changing the .htaccess file like you recommended. But I still get the Redirect Loop on http://forum.xxxx.de/setup/dashboard/setup
My Webspace:
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)
PHP Version 5.2.12
The Server is using CGI-PHP
Is there anything I could try by altering the php.ini?
