I'm running an apacher server under Suselinux and have a slight problem.
When I try to enter a passworded area on the web site I get the
following error...

The page isn't redirecting properly

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

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing
to accept
cookies.

I have tried all the usual cures of removing cookies etc but the problem
persists.

Any guidance would be gratefully received!

More or less the same thing...

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:

There is no sign of any error in the apache error log! The only thing I can
find is this in the access log...

OSS51 being the password program - BTW the OSS51 perps say that its an
apache configuration problem...

The next few lines might be more informative ...

Some assumptions or rather wild guesses:
After succesfull login login.php will redirect one back to the origionally
requested page. This re-request will again trigger the same RewriteRule
and divert to login.php.
However, having a cookie validating ones logged-in-status, login.php will
now immedeately redirect back to the initially requested page, resulting in
the two redirects looping forever.

Use FireFox's plugin 'Live HTTP Headers' to _see_ the headers of the
repeating requests, if any.


Show a snippet of the config having lines starting RewriteRule or containing
login.php or containing aerostats.

I'm still getting nowhere on this thing - any new ideas would be most
welcome.

This idea is now pending four days:
