Another Redirect Issue

Permalink Browser Info Environment March 29, 2012 at 2:43 PM

Hi Jon,

I'm hoping you can help troubleshoot another endless redirect problem. I've searched the forums and found a couple of different suggestions on fixes, but none of them are working.

I can browse my site using https, so I know that's working. It's just the redirect that seems to be the issue.

I'm on 5.5.1 and 2.1 of Force SSL.

Site:https://c5_nginx.newheights.org/...

My site.php contains:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://c5_nginx.newheights.org');
define('DIR_REL', '');
define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'concrete5.5.1');

My .htacess looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

url_check.php looks like:

<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
if (REDIRECT_TO_BASE_URL == true) {
   $protocol = 'http://';
   $base_url = BASE_URL;
   if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ($base_url_ssl = Config::get('BASE_URL_SSL'))) {
      $protocol = 'https://';
      $base_url = $base_url_ssl;
   }
   $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   if (strpos($uri, '%7E') !== false) {
      $uri = str_replace('%7E', '~', $uri);
   }
   if (($base_url != $protocol . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) && ($base_url . ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
      header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');

      header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');  
      header('Location: ' . $base_url . $uri);
      exit;
   }

Hi Mike,

something don't look quite right, as I can browse your site in http and
https. The redirect should prevent that...

Couple of things to try. First, make sure you are using the stock
url_check.php that comes with 5.5.1. That should work fine.

Second, remove the define's for BASE_URL and DIR_REL from site.php.

I should point out that neither of those things are likely to solve the
issue, just getting it back to how v5.5.1 is as standard, so we know where
we're starting from.

Then head to the dashboard.
ENSURE YOU ARE USING HTTP - NOT HTTPS
(sorry for shouting, but that bit's important ;->)

Then uninstall the addon and clear the cache (twice).
Then reinstall the addon and again clear the cache (twice)

I know, shouldn't have to clear the cache twice, but even if you have it
switched off, it still caches the config in the db and sometimes seems to
take a couple of attempts to clear it. The important part for the addon to
work correctly is in the db config. I'm now setting BASE_URL_SSL in there
when the addon is installed. If that gets set wrong at install time, then
it wil cause havoc. V2.2 will have a dashboard panel to check for that and
update it in a more user friendly way :)

Hopefully that will solve the issue. Shout back and let me know how you get
on...

Jon

Hi Jon,

Again, thanks for you help with this. I was hoping that this would fix things and I carefully followed your directions, but I still have the problem.

This is a dev server, so I don't mind PMing you details so that you can check it out yourself. Would that help?

Mike

yes please - db and dashboard access would be ideal...
