MyBB Community Forums

Hey, so I have no clue why this is happening but my forums isn't allowing anyone using safari, firefox, internet explorer, or microsoft edge to enter because of "too many redirects". This error doesn't seem to be happening to people using Google Chrome (thankfully most of them), but people still use safari on mobile (like me), and I would like to know what I've done. This issue has never happened before and just started last night.

I just tried renaming the .htaccess to htaccess.txt and it didn't work.

---

I should also mention that this happened at the same time that I received the following popup over my plugins screen:

It is not really that much of an issue, as when I hit cancel three times it goes away, but it is probably related the redirect issue.

---

After removing directory privacy from my inc folder, the authentication is gone, but the redirect issue is still there.
I can only guess that the problem has to do with a plugin that is messed up.
I really don't want to have to uninstall all plugins just to see if it fixes the issue (I already tried doing general config disable all plugins).

---

I just received info from another user that they are unable to view the site using chrome.

---

After further investigation, I've found that the error only occurs when attempting to access index.php. All other pages, such as: http://dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/showthread.php...90#pid1490 seem to load.

Did you Password Protect the folder mybb in cpanel / phpmyadmin?

Nope, no password. http://i.imgur.com/XbanGVb.png

Besides, I don't really care about the fact that the authentication thing shows up, not that much of a nuisance as it only shows when I visit the plugins page. All I have to do to get rid of it is hit cancel a few times.

Also, I already fixed that part, there is no authentication message anymore, my only issue now is that other browsers are unable to enter the site. I also just received info from another user that they are unable to view the site using chrome.

If i go i see this ( see attachment mybb_test ).
When i type the url without /mybb it redirect me to /mybb and a error ( on all browsers ( i don't have safari )).
I need to type index.php.
There must be a redirect code in http://dankrp.phy.sx/index.php ( or .html ) thats double, or u used the same code in mybb/index.php .
There are to many redirects and the result is a not working forum or loop ( see attachment mybb_test )

Okay yes it seems that you're right! Do you know what I have to do to make dankrp.phy.sx/mybb redirect to dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/index.php?
I've never had this issue before, dankrp.phy.sx has always redirected to dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/index.php

Check if you have a index.php on http://dankrp.phy.sx ( via ftp )
If so add this code only into that file ( if not create a index.php file with this code and upload it to your public_html folder);

<?php
  header( 'Location: http://dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/index.php' );
  exit();
?>

Or
Add this code into your .htacces file

//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 http://dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/(.*) http://dankrp.phy.sx/mybb/index.php/$1

This must solve the problem ( and for all browsers ).

While waiting for you, I searched around a bit and ended up doing this: http://i.imgur.com/PifoWQ9.png

It works now. Thank you SO much.

Yes it's working again.
