LS - Endless redirect issue after moving hosts
By rockerby
As the title states we have moved hosting of a web site that is running an elgg forum and have ran into a redirect loop issue (between social and social/pg/dashboard).
I've googled the error and the majority of issues found were around the .htaccess file, which I have checked and recreated using the install.php but this still had no impact. The site is running elgg in a subdirectory so I have made sure that the RewriteBase is pointing to the correct location.
More information can be found at my original post: here.
If anyone thinks they can help please drop me a PM with an estimated cost and we can take it from there.
Thanks,
Rockerby

You must log in to post replies.Have you gone through this page: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Duplicate_Installation?
Thanks for the link Evan. I hadn't seen that specific page but through the course of the transfer I had done all of the steps (apart from the filestore::dir_root entry in the db because that didn't exist). I added that and it didn't make any difference.
Rockerby, please try to disable all plugins, clear cache and check wether problem exists then as well. It may be that the bug is not in the configuration but in custom code. If you determine which plugin is causing problems, it should be easy to find redirect code.
I would bet on modification in custom_index if you're using it.
@rockerby Are you looking for any professional assitance from the developers here?
Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I cleared both Elgg and my browser cache and that had no effect. I placed the 'disabled' file into the mod folder and that had no effect so I downloaded the original index.php from a fresh copy from this site and there were a few difference. I replaced the index.php and again the redirect happened.
I very much appreciate the help guys, is there anything else I can try?
Rockerby, you can try updating to newest Elgg, probably you have some modifications in the core. If this don't help, it may be best to use help of a developer. We're currently busy although probably Shouvik can help you.
Thank you for the help Mike, especially as you are busy. Hopefully Shouvik can solve my issue!
