[SOLVED] After publishing to Webserver "Too many redirects"

oliverraduner

I just published my Vanilla 2 installation (2.0.16) from my local Dev environment to the WebServer.

I made sure to copy all relevant information from the previous "config.php" to the new one, so as keeping the old ".htaccess"-file and the upload-folder. I deleted the Cache folder, and also all previous "Cookies".

But when I navigate to my page now, it says "The page cannot be displayed, because there were too many redirects."

Does anybody have a clue, why this could happen in my productive environment? I don't really see any difference from a) the previous published site (Vanilla RC2), nor b) my local environment...

Thanks for any help,
Oliver

Try disabling RewriteURLs in the config.php. (Not a final solution, but somewhere to start).

There's a conflict between your rewrite rules somewhere.

Thanks @Lincoln for the tip. I tried this already without success, but forgot to mention it.

When I visit the page, I get redirected to the URL: http://myforum.com/webroot/?page=/entry/signin
But this is then where the error occurrs.

What I am wondering is, why Vanilla sends me to the Signin page, because this is not required to view my site as Guest...

Are you sure there are no other htaccess/httpd.conf rewrite rules being applied to your site?

hmm.. haven't analyzed it again. will have a deeper look.

Not sure why - but an upload of version 2.0.17.3 solved this issue.
