Redirection error

New Member Joined: Jul 12, 2005 Posts: 5

I am getting the following error on my site and can not access it via the browser:
"Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be cause by cookies that are blocked.

I installed the latest NukeSentinel on PHPNuke 7.7 patched 3.0 and things worked great for about three days. It seems that those that are the most active on the site are the users that are getting this error. I have tried the things that are listed in three threads that I found while searching and had no joy. Any ideas what is causing this?

I read this:

Make sure that you are not blocking cookies. Next, check your blocks. If you are using code like

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {

Header("Location: ../index.php");

die();

}

or

if ( !defined('NUKE_FILE') ) {

Header("Location: ../index.php");

die();

}

and you haven't properly defined BLOCK_FILE and NUKE_FILE, then that is probably the problem. These should both be defined in mainfile.php. Now if you are using a block that does not call mainfile.php, then either call mainfile.php or adjust your code.

But the problem is, it doesn't help me a bit because I do not know the first thing about adjusting the code to make it work! Any chance that you can expound on this a little more for us none programmers? {;>)

BTW, I did search the forum as I indicated in my first post and came up with 3 threads about this topic, none of which helped the issue. I apologize for not being aware of the answer that you have in the FAQ!

OK, I figured it out! I had added three new blocks just before this problem started. I went into the database with PHPMyAdmin and in the table nuke_blocks, deleted the last 3 blocks that I had created and it fixed the problem for now. Now I just have to figure out which block cause the problem and then fix it.
