    • I've been banging my head against this for the last three hours, and I can't find a solution.

      I'm creating a new version of my site with a new template. To do this, I've set up three vhosts on my MAMP installation.
        newprod - a Rockelauncher version of the new site, with no sample data
        rlinstall - a Rockelauncher version of the new site, with sample data for reference
        oldprod - to be a copy of my live site

      newprod and rlinstall worked fine - I just copied the Rocetlauncher files in to the directory and ran the install scripts. They are both working fine.

      oldprod. I copied a joomlapack .ipa file and the kickstart file into an empty diorectory. When I try to execute the kickstart.php file it errors. Any .php file errors - it appears to redirect top $scriptname as if it's trying to download the file rather than execute it - in fact in safari rather than firefox it does download it. Any .html files work correctly.

      My vhosts file is as follows:
      <VirtualHost *> 
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs" 
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *> 
DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data/Joomla_RT_Nexus_j15" 
ServerName newprod 
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *> 
DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data/nexus_data" 
ServerName rlinstall 
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *> 
DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data/fred" 
ServerName oldprod
    
</VirtualHost>

      There is an error in the Apache log - but I can't realy see why that's the error : [Fri Oct 16 12:46:57 2009] [error] [client ::1] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary., referer: http://oldprod:8888/kickstart.php

      Apache says the configuration file is correct syntax - though I guess the logic might be wrong.


      Any ideas - or better places to look. I've googled pretty extensively and haven't come up with an answer that works for me

    • Solved - It was a .htaccess problem

      Not sure exactly what was causing this, but I just renamed .htaccess to take it out of the equation totally - and the installation now worked. The site worked ok as well, but as soon as I put the ,htaccess back the site fwll over. As I'm just referring to the contant on this site, and it's local, it's not an issue. When I put the new site back into production I'll re-active the .htaccess on the ISP host - where it al appears to work.

    • Hi,

      Some htaccess can include redirects to send a non-www URL to a WWW URL to avoid duplicate content. Your htaccess file may have something like that.

      If You post it in a ZIP I'll look at it.
