MyBB Community Forums

Greetings, first and foremost happy holidays!

I have an issue. When you go to my domain name, I get an Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)



Here is my setup:

(2) domains are hosted on the same server. They each have their own folder. Each domain name is forwarded to the corresponding folder.

www.migunrack.com is redirected via control panel at my host (1&1) to point to www.migunrack.com/mgr/ which is mybb forum URL.

www.sellmyaudio.net is redirected via control panel at my hose (1&1) to point to www.sellmyaudio.net/board/ which is mybb forum url.


According to my host, everything on their end is setup correctly and pointing where it should.

But I get the redirect error when I go to either address...

Both forums were fully functional and setup correctly, and tested thoroughly before I started making these changes. Both file structures are complete.


Any ideas?

This really isn't anything we can help with as it's not an issue with MyBB at all, it's an issue with your domain set up. If your host says everything is set up correctly then I'd get them to check again because there's clearly something wrong somewhere if it's doing this, but there's not a lot we can do. Unless of course you've added any redirects anywhere else??

**edit**

I just talked to cs. They said I need to create a index.html in each of the folders (/board/ and /mgr/), or rename my index.php to index.html

So how do I go about fixing this?

Update - I ended up creating a redirect pointing from index.html to the mybb index.php

I dont know if it was the best solution, but it worked.

You should definitely not rename your index.php file to index.html, index.php is the forum homepage file and your forum index page won't work if that file doesn't exist; you should take extreme caution when your host gives you advice on 3rd party software; I'm very surprised they told you to do that to be honest. If they ever tell you to rename files or change anything in MyBB again, please ignore them.

I'm not really sure why an index.html file had to be created, must be because of how these redirects are set up, but either way, if that's fixed it then it's all good.

I didn't have to rename anything. I did not change the index.php, I understand that would cripple mybb.....

I just created a blank index.html file, uploaded it to the main directory, and setup a 301 redirect to point from the index.html to mybb's index.php
