SSL configured on site causing Better WP Security to fail

Hi, I have same problem here.

Two different sites, and one suddenly has fallen into cycle on SSL.

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

Same problem here too: only on HTTPS version of index.php for my site.

Once I deactivated the plugin, everything https on the landing page worked.

On my site, I did not activate any WP-Security options, just stock (so .htaccess shouldn’t be a problem)

The problem was in wrong generated slef-signed SSL domain address,

instead of domain.tdl I had https://www.domain.tdl

Hmm, mine is issued by a CA.

Check if you have or not have prefix www both on your site and generated certificate. I suppose if you want to have www. and no www. on site you might check if your certificate is a wildcard (*)

I have chosen not to use www at all, and redirect my site to a a non www version.

Hi Folks. Really would appricate it if someone could help me out here. I don’t understant these .htaccess files, and therefore don’t know what to try to sort out this cycling problem. Here is what I have

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.magva.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

Options All -Indexes

To keithvaugh,
have you enabled SSL on your hosting ?

Your problem can come from this lines:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.magva.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Try to remove/comment them and tell what happens.

Thanks Ernest_d. That sorted the problem out for me. Not only that, the site is loading quicker now also

Really appreciate the assistance.

You welcome.
