Too Many Redirects Error

Hello,

I am following the tutorial on creating a registration form with Chronoforms Stable 3 found in t he tutorial section of the site. I followed the directions, however I am getting a "Too Many Redirects" Error. Here is the exact error I get with Safari...

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://localhost:8888/serraJitsu.com/members/register.html”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

Here is the message I get in Firefox...

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?
* NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.

Any Ideas?

Hi Dvalle,

This is an SEF problem - usually an SEF url ends up pointing to itself directly or possibly in a loop a -> b -> a
If you are SH404SEF clear the URL cache and check any custom URLs -especially those that have register in them.

I am not using SH404SEF. Is there anything else that I can do or should I be using this component?

Hi dvalle,

If not SH404SEF then the default Joomla SEF or some other SEF extension??

Basically turn off your SEF because it's probably causing the problems.

Bob

It didn't work with the SEf turned off. I did try using the following code and it worked.

header('Location:http://localhost/url.com/index.php/members/register.html'); die();

Do you think this will cause any security issues?

Thanks for your help.😀

Hi Danny,

I think that's fine but if it gives a redirect error then probably something is wrong in the steps you followed in the tutorial😉

Cheers,
