ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on fresh install

adomas

Hello,

I made a fresh install of Flarum today and at the end result I got browser error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I have PHP 7.3.3, Apache 2.4.38 on Ubuntu 16.04

Apache error_log is empty. Not sure how to proceed. Any ideas how I can debug this and find the reason?

adomas if using chrome open network tab, enable preserve log at the top. Hit the URL, filter by "Doc" in that tab and see what responses you get. The response headers are important, they mostly mention the service/software redirecting.

My guess is a misconfigured Apache, but also verify the url in the config.php file.

Hey @luceos thanks for reply. While filtering by "Doc" I see only "Request Headers" and nothing about response. But when filtering by "Other" I see a lot of entries with status 301, "Response Headers" are like this:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2019 20:28:24 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.38
Location: https://atom.lt/index.php
Content-Length: 233
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=74
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Can it be related to .htaccess? Maybe I need to edit something there?

EDIT: In config.php I have correct line with url:

'url' => 'https://atom.lt/index.php'

EDIT2: Another thing I just now noticed is this:
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/x-httpd-php

So I think you are correct with your guess about misconfigured Apache. Any ideas where to search for a problem? Apache got installed and autoconfigured by Virtualmin administration panel.

adomas It looks like you have not set up url rewriting. The url setting in config.php should not contain /index.php. See https://flarum.org/docs/install.html#url-rewriting for more info.

@datitisev thanks for the link. I do have AllowOverride All for public directory in my Apache configuration. The strange thing I noticed now is that when accessing https://domain/index.php I get redirected and when I access https://domain/ I get to download a file by the browser "download" which is contents of index.php

Any ideas how to avoid Apache pushing this file for browser to download? I'm lost.

adomas I don't know much about Apache and configuration, I was able to find some potential solutions like this one on StackOverflow by looking up "apache downloading php file"
