Redirect

**AD7863** · 01-18-2009, 05:40 PM

Hey people, I've got this problem with my blog. If you go on it you will see the post about Twitter. if you click read more or click the title this error comes up on Firefox.

Anyone have any ideas on whats wrong?

Thanks in advance

Your .htaccess redirects to a page which itself is being redirected.
Maybe you should post the harmless parts of your .htaccess.

**AD7863** · 01-18-2009, 05:56 PM

How would I go about doing that?

**AD7863** · 01-18-2009, 06:02 PM

Depends....
If you have ssh access, you go in your site root directory, and type

Code:

cat .htaccess

if you have ftp, you connect to your server, go in the root directory, download the file .htaccess and open it with notepad

It's a forum dude, not an help desk chat.
Wait a lil it longer than 6 minutes before complaining the lack of replies.

Okay so I got the .htaccess. Now what I do. I opened it and I don't understand the code..

**AD7863** · 01-18-2009, 06:33 PM

Want me to write what it says in the file here?

Yeah, that's the point.
So we can find out what the problem is

**AD7863** · 01-18-2009, 06:40 PM

This is all the code thats in my .htaccess.

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I'm not sure, actually it's just a wild guess, but I'd say your Wordpress isn't in the root directory and therefore you should change RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /path/to/wordpress

Well, it looks like it is in the root directory in fact...
But I receive a bunch of 301 headers before ff bringing me that screen too.
Only on the first post though, all the others are working.

Some others wild questions:
1) Do you use something like wp-cache? If yes, try to delete the cache, and rebuild it
2) Did you tried to rebuild the link topology? Try it by going into settings->permalinks->save changes.
It will rebuild some internal mappings.

**AD7863** · 01-19-2009, 12:19 PM

Umm.. Okay Ill have a go...

Hey I tried this but it gave me a 500 internal server error...

Yep, thats the problem. All the other posts are working except that one. I've tried clearing the cash using wp-cash plugin but it still won't work. I'm going to try and delete the post and repost it.

**AD7863** · 01-19-2009, 12:41 PM

Okay this is really getting on my nerves. I kept the Twitter post and made a new post, when you clicked read more or on the title it worked. I then made another Twitter post and when you clicked read more or on the title it wouldnt work? Anyone got any ideas?

**chrishirst** · 01-19-2009, 01:24 PM

the problem is NOT the redirect but is something to do with your 404 page.

This is the what is being sent to UAs for that URI
