Bug Redirect Loop 2.0.21

[Mark Parrish]

This issue does happen when I use the default skin. I have cleared the cache but it does return when I log in.

 

[Mark Parrish]

I have had to turn off the SEO for the time being until I can figure it out.

 

[Mark Parrish]

I have double checked the settings and they are correct. Standard URL and Enforce Canonical URL set to off. Updated the htaccess to the suggested version.

What content is this happening on?

If it's the CMS home page, please make sure to check that the "Force Forum Directory Index" has been turned off, as that may cause this issue if you use the CMS as the home page and you have not configured the CMS home page SEO URL in DBSEO to also be /

If that does not apply, do you have the CMS and forum in different directories?

If that does not apply, can you please paste me the full contents of your .htaccess file?

 

[Mark Parrish]

It is on the forum.php. We don't use the CMS part only the forum. Here is the htaccess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
RewriteBase /forums/

# If you are having problems with the rewrite from content/ to content.php, uncomment this line to turn MultiViews off.
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(hcw_admincp/|dbseocp/|hcw_modcp/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php|reviewpost/|classifieds/|photopost/)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(hcw_admincp|dbseocp|hcw_modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|reviewpost|classifieds|photopost)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Hmm... Do you have a .htaccess file in the root folder as well? If I'm reading your file correctly, you have the forum in a subdirectory of the web root, so there may be a set of conflicting rules in the root folder.

Here is the wordpress htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

 

[Fillip H.]

I'm almost certain that is the culprit.

If I'm reading that correctly, that code will redirect every URL that isn't "/index.php" back to index.php, which conflicts with DBSEO because DBSEO needs to display SEO'd URLs akin to Wordpress.

As a test, can you please try renaming the WordPress .htaccess file to .htaccess.bak, then clear your browser's cache (Firefox, for instance, will cache a redirect to speed up page loads, which can conflict with this test), then try the DBSEO URLs again?

 

[Mark Parrish]

OK - I will give it a shot but it will need to wait until later tonight.

Mark
