[Forum] Redirect Loop after upgrade error

[Bacon Butty]

Hi,

Hoping someone can assist.

I've just upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.1.8 and have hit the following snag.

Whenever I click in a forum I get this error;


Chrome;

This web page has a redirect loop

The web page at http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/fo...-Everton-Forum has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Firefox

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.

As per searches, I've disabled any plugin via config file and do not have vbSEO.

Any ideas?

Were you using a third party htaccess for your site?
Did you try reuploading the default vBulletin htaccess?

Thanks for the reply.

No third party forum htaccess - I didn't expect the minor upgrade to impact urls.

I've just tried uploading the .htacess in the "do not upload" folder but it didn't resolve the error.

This is our root htaccess;

Options +FollowSymlinks


RewriteEngine on


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]


ErrorDocument 404 /404-page-not-found


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^grandoldteam\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.grandoldteam\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.grandoldteam\.com\/index" [R=301,L]

Worked without issue for some time until this upgrade...

Update.

The forum works when I enter the admincp and set the url type as anything other than the prior 'Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs' - but I want/need the mod rewrite friendly urls to work as prior upgrade.

Thanks

Fixed via this;

I didn't have the

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/xml application/x-javascript application/javascript in my .htaccess, I'm having the same issue.
