Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): after upgrading

[Anrulz]

I upgraded from from an old 1.5 to latest cpg, I deleted all files folders except anycontent.php, config file and albums folder, I uploaded new files, I deleted install.php then I visited my gallery, everything looked nice!but when I click on a picture or login I get :

Fehler 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): Zu viele Umleitungen.

Means too many redirections ... FYI : I dont have a .htaccess file.So I thought maybe my new server has some problems tried to make a fresh cpg install on another database and this one worked fine, all good, so I said maybe if I change database information to my formal cpg all will work but it didnt I had exactly the same 310 Error, so from here I am assuming the problem is with my tables, but I dont know what to edit, what do do ... I would be glad if you guys can help me!Thanks a lot

PS:Cant give the URL for security reasons, but if it is really necessary I can PM the mods.

If you don't want to give us your gallery url, we cannot give you support.

[Anrulz]

I am sorry you are right , I think editing the first post is not possible but here is the url:

www.hababam.biz/galeri

and the dir is pwd protected here it is : login/pass = galdor.hababam : thyglr

The problem is I assume with the "login"

when the debug mode is on there are lots of stuff being displayed but I turned it off now from phpmyadmin, if necessary I can turn it on again.

Thank you very much,

Was your gallery ever bridged to another software?

[Anrulz]

Yes it was bridged with joomla but I disabled the bridge from the config file I set 1 to 0.

[Anrulz]

would it be possible to switch to wordpress and let every picture like a new artivle or maybe 10 pictures as one article?

[Αndré]

Yes it was bridged with joomla but I disabled the bridge from the config file I set 1 to 0.

Just to make sure, please reset all values in the bridge table.

[Anrulz]

I did still same error

[Anrulz]

I compared a fresh install config db and my config and changed allow_unlogged_access to 3, now pictures are available for viewing but unfortunately login still has the same problem

[Joe Carver]

Start looking at your .htaccess files for redirects / rewrites that could interfere.

Your hosting company might be able to help.

From the initial post:

I dont have a .htaccess file

To verify if there's really no redirection outside of Coppermine, please rename login.php to something different and create a new login.php file with the content

Code Select Expand

<?php echo "test"; ?>

[Anrulz]

When I click login I see only the text : test, right now I am leaving it like this but I will be testing new stuff like taking the login.php from the fresh install and replacing but I dont think this will solve ...

[Αndré]

If you see "test" it means, that the redirection issue comes from Coppermine and no redirection rule as Joe expected. Replacing all core files might fix your issue. Please give it a try, maybe some files got corrupted during upload.

[Anrulz]

Better than replacing I deleted all the files except config, albums and anycontent, then unzipped the latest package, and later I ran the upgrade or update.php ... there is nothing to replace ... all files are core files but in phpmyadmin I see that the fresh cpg I installed has few more tables than my old installation, I dont know why ... but I dont think this causes the problem

[Αndré]

So it works now as expected?

[Anrulz]

I did what I said on the 3rd of October, so it isnt working.The problem is with the database ...When I change the config file of a fresh new install cpg with my old config file which means I use the database of my old cpg, the login.php is giving the same error.

[Αndré]

Sorry I missed the

I dont think this causes the problem

If it's your database, it's impossible to say what's wrong without having a look at your database. Please attach a dump of your Coppermine database to your next reply.

[Anrulz]

Done

There's something wrong with your cookie settings (I haven't checked yet what exactly). Additionally a workaround has been implemented wrongly causing an infinite loop.

Please open login.php, find

Code Select Expand

$ref = $CPG_REFERER ? '?referer='.urlencode($CPG_REFERER) : '';
and replace with

Code Select Expand

$ref = $CPG_REFERER ? '?reload_once&referer='.urlencode($CPG_REFERER) : '?reload_once';

[Anrulz]

This helped now there isnt the infite loop but when I login it tells me : Welcome guest ... and I dont look like logged in ... because login.php is still displayed and I dont see admin options or logged user options ... and in the login.php it gives me this warning :

Enter your username and password to login
Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies

In the database I changed "cpg15" cookie to "hababam_galeri" something like this, created my own cookie, can this be the problem?
