I installed craft according to the documentation but when I tried to access example.com/admin I get following error

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., referer: http://example.com/

Every subpage like example.com/about has the same behavior. Only example.com works

I changed the .htaccess-file after I found the same problem with cakePHP. I just had to add RewriteBase / after RewriteEngine On so the .htaccess looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteBase /
    # Send would be 404 requests to Craft
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

If your site is multilingual (i.e., if you have subfolders like /en/, /de/, etc. with indivudual .htaccess files in them), this fix requires you to add you the locale's segment to the specific rewrite base of each .htaccess file (e.g. RewriteBase /en/ and so on.)

Now it works fine.

  • Feels wrong changing the provided htaccess file! But hey if it works.

  • I have to do this on Rackspace CloudSites servers, but not on any of my other servers local or remote. Kinda annoying but this fix does work so there is that.
