XF 1.4 505 Error - Infinite Loop Issue

[DaniD]

Hi,

Apparently my site is having a 505 error due to an infinite loop issue in my .htaccess file. This line is creating the issue:

RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

I'm not sure what I should do with this line. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Show us you full htaccess

    RewriteBase  /home/namesin/public_html

    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

This is the full code for my htaccess file that I'm using. I'm also running Apache and it's installed in the root.

Try commenting out the RewWriteBase (and I think that it's incorrect the way you have it anyway).

It's working now. There was an issue with an index file that was loading in the root, not the index.php file. Thanks everyone.

Was it trying to load an index.html/htm? If so, you need to modify the HTTP vhost so that it uses index.php before index.html/htm. That way, if you ever do get an index.html/htm in the root, it won't overide the index.php.
