Re: Apache 2.4 This webpage has a redirect loop

Your second rule is mostly abusing mod_rewrite - you should use FallbackResource instead, or just add a RewriteCond before the rule to prevent loops in the per directory context.

Hey all,

 OK so I have a website that's entering a re-direct loop that prevents the site from working. 

The site's default behavior is to go from / to site/universalpictures. And from there it enters the redirect loop and stops working.

Here's the vhost for the site in question:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        DocumentRoot /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site

        ServerName launchpadnew.upqa.com

        ServerAlias launchpad2.upqa.com test-launchpad.upqa.com

        <Directory /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site>

                Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Includes -ExecCGI

                #Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Includes +ExecCGI

                AllowOverride All

                Order deny,allow

                Deny from all

                AuthType Basic

                AuthName UPQA

                AuthUserFile /var/www/qa/etc/http.passwd

                AuthGroupFile /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/conf/groups

                require valid-user

                satisfy any

        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

From there the site encounters an .htaccess file that has the following in it:

php_flag zlib.output_compression off

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html

AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .htm

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

AddHandler php5-script php

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^new$ new_site.php [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ edit_site.php?site=$1 [QSA,L]

The only errors I see in the logs are this one, repeating over and over again:

[Wed Dec 31 11:43:06.174003 2014] [:error] [pid 9053:tid 47022521411904] [client64.210.199.232:64956] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: action in /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site/edit_site_ajax.php on line 43, referer:http://launchpadnew.upqa.com/site/Firstsite

However I'm not sure if that pertains to the error I'm experiencing.

If it's of any use, line 43 from that eror log starts at the switch statement in the following:

//echo "POST:".$_POST['action'];

switch ($_POST['action']) {

  case 'deployFiles':

I'd appreciate any advice you may have in correcting this problem!

Thanks,

Tim
