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

In my case it was Apache's DirectoryIndex issue. The wp-admin was being accessed by wp-admin/index.php but not with wp-admin and showing ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

It sounds like Apache's DirectoryIndex may be set "incorrectly". Try resetting this at the top of your .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.php
