Hi all,

We updated our website a few months ago and just recently (or at least it was just brought to my attention within the past few days), the blog is throwing a "This webpage has a redirect loop" error and won't load. I can load up other blog posts manually, but just not the first page (for example, www.photopilot.com/blog gives the error, but http://photopilot.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&paged=2 loads fine).

I looked through some of the old posts that suggested adding a php.ini file and making a correction to the code in one of the conf files (can't remember which one off hand), but neither of those worked...

Since I can't get into the admin page to tweak settings, any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi

I checked the link

I think it is a .htaccess problem and / or URL settings for the blog.

Hi zebulon,

When I removed the .htaccess file, it still threw the error. I thought that might've been causing it but no success via that route...

Any idea how I would access the URL settings for the blog without the Admin GUI interface (since I can't access it)?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi @photopilot,

It also looks to me as a .htaccess problem, but if you already tested, then let's move on.

The URL configuration is stored in the database, to be more specific, the table evo_blogs. Just for testing purposes, please locate the row of your main blog and set the fields blog_access_type and blog_siteurl back to relative and blog1.php respectively ( if they have any different value ).

Also, in this URL you can see the content of your home page: http://photopilot.com/blog/a_noskin.php. However, if you click any of the pagination links, you will be led to a https URL, but the rest of the links in the same page are pointing to http, actually you can see the same behavior in the page that you linked before. I couldn't reproduce it but maybe this have something to do with the whole problem, do you remember to have recently done anything related with https in your site?

Hi mgsolipa,

Thanks for letting me know where the URL configuration is stored. I will adjust the values.

I have no idea why it is redirecting to https... I've been out of town for the past 3 weeks and hadn't changed anything on the hosting or website end for at least 2 months... very very strange...

Cheers,
Steve

Edit:

access type is already relative and siteurl is index.php. I will change it later tonight when I have access to a computer.

Update:

I don't know what happened but the site seems to have corrected itself. Blog works fine now. Nothing has been changed (it got put on the back burner for a couple days until I finished a project).

Sorry for not being able to provide any helpful suggestions to anybody who has this problem in the future.

Thanks for all the help!

Cheers,
Steve
