Improve this question

I am trying to develop a job site using jobberland scripts.

But on connecting to server the following error shows on all the pages in Firefox:开发者_C百科

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

Can You help me with the fix please. Is the problem with scripts or with databases (as some sites have explained while I searched on this query).

https://shopplugin.net/kb/checkout-redirect-loop-when-https-environment-variable-is-not-set/

Known Cause

Some hosting environments do not declare that they are running securely in a standard way (or at all in some cases). This will cause issues with the is_ssl() to not be set properly. Shopp see’s that SSL is required and then checks for SSL. If is_ssl() is not set, Shopp will attempt to redirect to HTTPS. Thus creating a loop.

The Solution in the link is only for wordpress, but if anyone knows of a generic php fix, please advise!

This might happen sometimes due to clogged session ( rather invalid cookies in your browser ) or also because of the redirection feature used in server. Say for example, the user access Page A, the server might ask the browser to redirect to some Page B by passing on some headers; and based on headers the browser might redirect to a Page B which in turn redirects back to Page A. And it goes on creating an indeterminate loop.

To solve you can try the following:

• Clear your cookies in your browser
• Check the session management and redirection mechanism which you have developed
• Try to clear the server session variables and retry.

Hope it helps!!!

There's an endless loop (or circular references) caused by HTTP redirection somewhere in the scripts.

Like stillstanding said. You have an endlessloop caused either by your php script or by a rewrite rule in your .htaccess or even caused by both.

For example you have a userlogin and if the user is not logged in you redirect any page to /. In index.php you check if the user is loged in and if not you normaly redirect to /login.php BUT lets now say you made an error and put a /user.php there so that user.php redirects to / because the user is not logged in.

I had this same issue with a PHP page I was working on. While checking how it rendered in various browsers I got this weird error. I was never able to determine what caused it, the page loaded fine in IE9 + Opera, but gave this error in Firefox. The script checked for a stored cookie and showed a link based on it, but I wasn't using any redirects or sending any headers from the script. When the cookie was present in Firefox I got this error, when it wasn't the page loaded fine. Even after deleting and re-writing the cookie same thing. I removed Firefox and reinstalled the latest version and the error stopped popping up, so it seemed like something to do with Firefox handling the cookie although I have no idea why.
