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

Answer 1

with nginx config I had originally only this line and experienced the same redirect issue:

location / {
    try_files   $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}

after adding this everything was fine:

location /wp-admin/ {
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args;
}
