Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects

Question

My website has been slowed down a little last couple of days. I\'ve looked into my error log and found lots of these:

[Mon Sep 30 00:09:53 2013] [error] [c         


        

Answer 1

To prevent infinite looping add an extra RewriteCond line on top of your rule like this:

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ prevents looping by checking an internal mod_rewrite variable REDIRECT_STATUS which is set to 200 after first successful internal redirect.
