Merged "This webpage has a redirect loop"

Waiting for a solution to this problem as well, the 1.6.2 forum only works when i switch the SEF off

I've tried pretty all combinations of commenting out and not doing so in my .htaccess file, no luck...

Any help appreciated

The solution to the SEO problems is to read Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in the Wiki. If this does not solve your Joomla SEO problems then please follow up your questions at the Joomla support forum . Sometimes this will not solve your problems and you need to discuss your SEO issues with your webhosting provider. Not all hosted solutions allow the use of SEO.

In my own case, I have not made any changes to the standard Joomla .htaccess file (the file that ships with Joomla as htaccess.txt; the file that you need to rename as .htaccess; the file that you need to store in your Joomla site root folder).

In my case, I use the following settings, always:

SEF Url's --> on
Mode Rewrite --> on
Suffix --> off

Maybe tou didn.t anderstand.........

Kunena !.6.0 worked until Upgraded to Kunena 1.6.2

Options were changed after upgrade and when Forum didn't work......

The problem, i think, is something in 1.6.2 not in Joomla SEF settings, because are the same......

This is .Htaccess file :

What "options" are we discussing, please?

I think I know what the problem is. It has taken me a while to work this out because this topic was put in the Installation and Upgrade category. In fact this issue is not about having a problem during the installation; this issue is about using the forum after Kunena had been successfully installed!

I think that the problem is that there is an old menu item that pointed to Kunena that was not updated when you performed the upgrade and, because this out-of-date menu item is still there, now you are getting "The page isn't redirecting properly" errors. Isn't this really what's happening?

It is exactly whats happenings

www.kunena.org/forum/154-miscellaneous-o...yq?limit=10&start=10

The solution there works perfect.

Simply instead of in your menu when you link to the forum choosing Kunena Forum >>> Entry Page

Choose Alias and then select Kunena top menu >> forum >> Index in it!!

This should make all your problems go away

(I hope I've posted this in the right category)

I'm pretty new to Kunena - had a lot of experience with phpBB in the past, but now I want a forum that is perfectly integrated with my site.

I've installed it at www.streetstyled.com/forum but for some reason I couldn't post items (thanks to searching this forum I've found the cause for this). I do have another problem where I can't find the cause of or solution for: when you click a category, the userlist or the stats, I get a time-out! (Tested this in IE, FF & Chrome)

Does this sound familiar to anybody and is it possible to give me some advice on what to do?

Yes, you did post your question in category that was not appropriate but I have moved it for you.

You aren't so much getting "time-outs" as you put it. You are getting the message "The page isn't redirecting properly" when I click a topic. If you search for the actual message you would find some help. Please look at the topic that I have merged your question with, and you should find the answer soon enough.

I hope this helps.

YAY! Thank you once again sozzled for providing me with a solution. I did indeed have two links to kunena with the same alias. Perhaps in description of the entry page and index page links (when you create them) it should say "DO NOT USE "forum" or any other alias already used in "kunena-menu" or you WILL create redirect loops!"

Cheers

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work........

The problem isn't the same.......
