This error occurred to me when I was debugging the PHP header() function:

header('Location: /aaa/bbb/ccc'); // error

If I use a relative path it works:

header('Location: aaa/bbb/ccc'); // success, but not what I wanted

However when I use an absolute path like /aaa/bbb/ccc, it gives the exact error:

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

It appears the header function redirects internally without going HTTP at all which is weird. After some tests and trials, I found the solution of adding exit after header():

header('Location: /aaa/bbb/ccc');
exit;

And it works properly.

Just add   RewriteBase     after  RewriteEngine On    and you are done        so it should be   RewriteEngine On RewriteBase   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteRule   index php  QSA L

I just found a solution to the problem here   http   willcodeforcoffee com 2007 01 31 cakephp-error-500-too-many-redirects   The  htaccess file in webroot should look like    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt    RewriteEngine On   RewriteBase     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f   RewriteRule        index php url  1  QSA L   lt  IfModule gt    instead of this    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt    RewriteEngine On   RewriteBase  projectname   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f   RewriteRule        index php url  1  QSA L   lt  IfModule gt
