redirect loop installing elgg 1.7.12

i followed the instructions on how to install and i keep running into the same problem when i try to save my system settings. Would anyone be able to help me figure out how to fix it?

This webpage has a redirect

The webpage 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.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.


  • This not quite an Elgg issue. If you google for "too many redirects" you will see that all sorts of CMS`s & Platforms installs get this error.. now and then. You'll need to look closely at what might be happening. Also - this 'redirect problem' has been discussed here @ Elgg community quite few times before - just look for those other posts -- maybe a solution was mentioned before.
