'Page is redirected into a neverending loop'

I released my MILPACS module to the public and my first bug from this guy who wrote the following:

Quote:

Here is my problem:
Everything was working fine until I tried to add the MILPACS block. As soon as I did that the entire website went into a neverending loop. I couldn't access any portion of the site and eventually the browser would come up 'Page is redirected into a neverending loop' .

As soon as I went into the site via FTP and deleted the block_milpacs.php file from the blocks directory everything is working fine again. I tried to put the block file back in and the same thing happens.

Have you heard anything about this from anyone else or do you have any ideas what the problem might be?

My block is very basic.

Code:

I am waiting for a reply from him about his version of Nuke and patch level.

Sounds like he doesn't have BLOCK_FILE defined. It's a patch issue.

He told me the following.

The answers to your 3 questions are:

1. We have nukesentinel installed, but it is not and has not been active.

2. I tried to re-ftp the block file and the same thing happens.

3. Our version of PHPNuke says it is Powered by Platinum 7.6.b.2
We are running PNC (PHPnuke Clan) v. 3.0.1

Does any of that help you out?

PNC (PHPnuke Clan) is an intergrated version of vWar.

He runs Platinum 7.6.b.2

He probably doesn't have the patch that introduced the BLOCK_FILE definition. He can probably add that without adding the rest of the patch, but he should probably update to the current patch.

He would ad that where? In mainfile.php?

I looked at his mainfile.php and it has the following:

Code:

define('NUKE_FILE', true);


define('BLOCK_FILE', true);
