Are you trying to install 1.3.7 or 1.3.7sr1? I thought Dirk fixed this problem in sr1.
If it's 1.3.7, then upgrade to 1.3.7sr1. If this is sr1, then go inside index.php and comment out this section of code:
Text Formatted Code
if (isset ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST']) &&
!empty ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) {
preg_match ("///([^/]*)/", $_CONF['site_url'], $server);
if (strcasecmp ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'], $server[1]) != 0) {
// this may be a case of a www. vs. non-www. URL ...
if (!empty ($QUERY_STRING)) {
$query = '?' . $QUERY_STRING;
} else {
$query = '';
}
echo COM_refresh ($_CONF['site_url'] . '/index.php' . $query);
exit;
}
}
This should stop the constant cycling. The redirect was added because of a www versus non-www issue. In config.php, we enter the site's url either with or without the www. If someone enters the alternate way, they won't be recognized as being signed in. The redirect gets around this problem. If you can't use it though, you'll need to "fix" your cookies. I explained the problem in
this post. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.
