Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects

  • Hi Guys

    From a web hosts point of view has anyone experienced the below apache error when running the plugin on customer sites:

    Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

    I have been told that “‘LimitInternalRecursion” should not be raised above 10 so how is it possible to run the plugin whilst avoiding this issue?

    Apparently this limit of 10 is server wide, I am confused.

    Cheers

  • I arrived here via Google and was looking to see if anyone else had the same issues I did.

    Trolled through server logs and found what you mention above.

    Perhaps a bug in BWPS? Still trying to hunt it down. I will post if I find it.

    I’ve also done some further investigation myself with some help from the good guys at Web hosting talk and have narrowed it down a little.

    Something is creating internal redirect loop. Usually it is a combination of
    mod_rewrite rules, .htaccess & sometimes auth headers or location headers produced by php / cgi script.

    So it may not be caused by the plugin’s .htaccess rules alone but more likely conflicts between it’s rules and other scenarios.

    I don’t imagine it’s a basic case of ithemes .htaccess rules conflicting with WordPress permalink .htaccess rules otherwise this issue would be more common. But then again these are the only rules I have in my htaccess files.

    So I am still stumped.

    @taketheleap did you find anything further regards this issue?

    I am still trying to figure this one out.

    Cheers
