 Posted: Thu 31 Jan '13 13:55 Post subject: LimitInternalRecursion Problem. |
 |
|
Hey peeps!
Please help me
I've been tasked to takeover a site that i never used to manage and i keep getting the following error.
| Code: | Request exceeded the limit of 2000 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary.
Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. |
I've also tried the fix that i've found in numerous places
| Code: | RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L] |
PHP Info
| Code: | PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 2 2012 23:47:49)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group

It was kinda weekend 
However, to find out which of your rules causes this I think you should enable the rewrite log. |

You are indeed correct!
I see that i get that error roughly every 20 minutes. i will let the log run for a little while longer and post the result.
UPDATE!
Roughly 195 586 lines generated in an hour. do you know if i should be looking for something specific ? |

At some point (so I think) the rewrite rules go into a loop. Nasty, but it is your job to find that point.
From request time you should be able to find a single request that get redirected over and over again. |

for sure!. i've done a count on the internal redirects and there was something like 3706.
here is a link to my rewrite log. http://blogs.timeslive.co.za/rewrite.log
Bear in mind it's a 48MB file  just so you know. I don't really know what i'm looking at. or what i should be looking for to be totally honest |

Try to remove the 4 lines about the RSS feeds. |

Okay so. i've chopped down the .htaccess file to the following.
see here - http://pastebin.com/N4GQx73x
but still getting the problem | Quote: | Request exceeded the limit of 2000 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary.
Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. |
I do notice that i get that problem almost exactly every 20 minutes.
i also think i've nailed it down to this in my rewrite log thats giving the problem but i'm not sure which rule is causing it.
| Code: | (5) strip matching prefix: /var/www2/blogs.timeslive.co.za/index.php -> index.php
(4) add subst prefix: index.php -> /index.php
(1) [perdir /var/www2/blogs.timeslive.co.za/] internal redirect with /index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] |

Since it is index.php which causes what you should exclude it.
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
or
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php(.*)$
Try which works for you can report back. |

Many thanks! will report back!
*EDIT*
Hi James Blond. Thanks for your assistance. i fear that i have failed to mention that this is a multisite wordpress install.
Having said that i implemented your fix and the main site works just fine but cannot go any deeper than that |
