Hi, I would like to run kirby at uberspace, but it runs into a forward loop. I have changed the htaccess from RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1 [R,L] to RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php/$1 [R,L] That works, but i can’t get the panel work. Any ideas/hints/suggestions? Best, Christian

Do you have this line uncommented in your .htaccess file: RewriteBase / Without this it won’t work. Everything else should be fine.

Where is that RewriteRule line from? The official Kirby .htaccess uses different rules. I have also changed the category and title, because this is not specific to Uberspace

I seem to have also come across this issue when navigating to /panel. The only amendment I’ve made to .htaccess is to uncomment RewriteBase / (as above). Are there any other clear reasons why this might be happening? Thanks in advance :slight_smile: Simon

Some hosters need the RewriteBase because of their Apache configuration. Uberspace uses a great multi-domain setup that itself uses mod_rewrite. Therefore, if you use it for your site again, you need to set the RewriteBase. That’s apparently how Apache works. :wink:

Oh, I see. I actually missed the fact that this issue cited uberspace specifically. I’m using a Google Compute Engine instance that I setup. I had to enable mod_rewrite using a2enmod rewrite and then service apache2 restart, which seemed to get the site working. Now this pesky redirect loop …

From where to where do you get redirected? What is your Kirby version? Does it also happen in the frontend (without the Panel)?

I’m not entirely sure. Visiting /panel just produces the error. http://104.155.220.105/panel/login Kirby version is the starterkit for 2.2.3 . Doesn’t appear to happen on the frontend .

Hmmm. It seems as though the .htaccess is being used by the server, but perhaps one of the rules is causing the confusion. I linked up the domain and set it as the base url in kirby site config: c::set('url','http://tiyanbaker.com'); Still no luck, unfortunately.

If you send me an email I can have a look at it directly: bastian@getkirby.com
