Redirect loop on wp-admin or wp-login.php

Question

I put together a quick WordPress site locally using MAMP, then checked it into an SVN repo. I then checked it out on to my development server.

I didn\'t change anything

If you're using Cloudflare you might want to try adding this to the TOP of your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://www.example.com');
define('WP_HOME', 'https://www.example.com');
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_VISITOR']) && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_VISITOR'], 'https')){
  $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
}

It's important that you add it to the top of the wp-config.php file or you'll end up with "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page" error messages.
