We just changed hosts, when we changed over we have the register_globals error which I fixed thanks to the Register Globals patch - we had an SSL certificate on the old host which we still need to move to the new one - at the moment we have uploaded all our files + database tables + records and the site is functioning - however when we try to look at a category or a product, we're getting the:
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I tried switching our Ultimate SEO URLs contribution off but that still didn't help - still same issue.
Tried removing all the code in product_info.php and only left the require('includes/application_top.php'); part which it looks like is causing the error - something in application_top.php is causing the redirect I believe.
If I try to access /product_info.php on its own the page works (gives me the "product not found" page) but as soon as I try to view a product (product_info.php?products_id=xx) - redirect loop!

At the moment we are still being hosted by our old host but that is due to expire in a few days and in the meantime we have been uploading our stuff to the new host - the address of the new host is http://203.170.86.178/~pcstudio/

I'm not too sure if HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN is correct.


ANY help would be HIGHLY appreciated as we need to change our name servers to point to the new host soon!

Thanks

[web-project]

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://203.170.86.178/~pcstudio');

it should be domain name or nothing at all!

simply change to:

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

Did you check your .htaccess file? Make sure the rewrite for ultimate seo is pointing to the correct path.

Yep even tried removing the htaccess file and disabling the Ultimate SEO URLs contribution - same thing - oh well looks like we'll have to cancel new host and go back to old one.

Thanks for the help

just another thought. There is a call for includes/classess/seo.class.php in includes/application_top.php.

yep tried both of those also - local folder had nothing in it ... went through everything have no idea what would've been causing it
