Redirect loop and LimitInternalRecursion error message.

Gunjan — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:06:37 +0000

Most of the time we receive following redirect loop error message.

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
To avoid above error message simply use following code in .htaccess file.

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 100

RewriteRule .* - [L]

If you are receiving 403 error message after browsing your domain than check the Apache error logs.

root@admin[~]tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

[Tue Nov 17 19:38:32 2009] [crit] [client 192.168.0.2] (13)Permission denied: /home/admin/public_html/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

As per above logs it seems that the nobody user is not getting read and executing permission upto any of that folder.So make sure that the public_html and the subdomain are set read and executing permission for nobody user.
