# Redirect Loop

 * Hello,
 * I’m using WordPress 2.0.4. Yesterday, the site’s host upgraded their database
   to mysql 5. There were lots of glitches, and the database was mostly inaccessible
   throughout the day.
 * At night, however, the blog section of the site (www.altfg.com/blog/) was working
   fine, and this morning, too.
 * Out of the blue — I didn’t touch the site/Wordpress today — at about 9:45am PDT,
   I (and others) began getting the following message whenever we tried to access
   the blog portion of the site:
 * ******The page isn’t redirecting properly
 * Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address
   in a way that will never complete.
 * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.*****************
 * The host’s engineers have been working on the problem, but so far no solution(
   it’s almost 4pm). Needless to say, it’s all very frustrating. I was wondering
   if anyone here has a suggestion as to what might be wrong. I’d then contact the
   host to let them know. I know they’ve had other complaints today about this issue—
   though I’m not sure if they’re all from WordPress users.
 * Other sections of the site — the .htm pages not on the database — are working
   just fine. (e.g., [http://www.altfg.com/awards/2006/miami.htm](http://www.altfg.com/awards/2006/miami.htm)).
 * Any assistance would be much appreciated.

 * In case anyone else has this sort of trouble in the future, the problem lay with
   the host’s mod perl set-up.
