Internal redirects error (9 posts)

    This is a weird one...I am using wpmu 1.3 and I started getting this error after the upgrade:

    [Fri Nov 30 16:06:14 2007] [error] [client x] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

    I searched around the forums and found out that this error was showing up in the first builds of wpmu years ago. I find it weird that I started getting it after the upgrade to 1.3 (had never seen this error before with older installs).

    What is causing this?

    I too am getting a log full of these errors.
    @Konstan- did you figure it out? A google search, looke like it is related to the htaccess file? Can anyone help?

    the file that has the redirect limit in it is in Apache. Specifically, it'd be the httpd.conf file (I swear I saw it in there, because mine's 20, not 10.)

    But this only started with mu1.3, 1.2.5 and below never showed me that error.

    but did you check the file?

    A boatload of stuff changed from 1.2.5 to 1.3, so there very well could be more internal redirects.

    I looked at httpd.conf, default-server.conf and global.conf and none of them have LimitInternalRecursion in them. I asked on the apache2 mailing list and they say some php file is doing the redirects and after looking at the rewrite_log of apache, it appears to be index.php. I don't know if this matters or not but my web structure is /<docroot>vhosts/sitename and the permalinks in MUWP would not work unless i put the htaccess file in <docroot>/. But now that i have done that (permalinks work) i get all these internal redirect logs. Should htaccess have to be put in <docroot> when the site is at <docroot>/vhosts/sitename?

    Same here! And the blogs are sloooww.....
    @konstan-shoot me an email and lets see if we can match our MUWP and apache installs carnoldNO @SPAMelectrichendrix dot com

    People on the apache list say it is coming from index.php in the root of the site (/*short and sweet*/
    wp-blog-header.php)

    I found a fix:
    http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/mod_rewrite-tips-and-tricks.html
    under "fix for infinite loops"

    Nope, this breaks my permalinks/pages
