500 Internal Server Error

    I have been noticing this error in my server logs along with intermittent 500 Internal Server Error pages.

    [Tue Mar 2 20:59:10 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use ‘RewriteOptions MaxRedirects’ to increase the limit if neccessary.

    In my .htaccess, I set the max redirects to 500 with:

    RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=500

    But that only leads to the following error:

    [Tue Mar 2 21:03:09 2010] [error] [client 65.36.241.76] Request exceeded the limit of 20 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

    And the 500 errors remain.

    I’m nearly pulling my hair out in frustration from this. Please advise!

    Here is my .htaccess file if it helps:

    addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=500
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    There may be some other configurations settings that your host has setup that are overriding your settings.

    Such as?

    I haven’t changed ANYTHING with the installation except adding the MaxRedirects to “fix” the 500 Internal Server Error pages.

    But really, I don’t understand how I could be using up all my redirects. This is a brand new installation of WP 2.9.2.

    And, @samboll, I only posted this twice because the first time the forum said the post did not exist – so I figured it didn’t post properly. -.-

    There could be another .htaccess file at a different level of your site that is also redirecting. Also if you are using certain types of frame-based redirection that could have an impact.
