Failure to redirect with new Install | Forum

Installation failure using ow_1.0b4 with MAMP on Mac OSX 10.6.4

Following the instructions all does well until the final step of adding plugins.

Here is the returned browser message:

http://localhost:8888/oxwall/install/completed?redirect=1

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The database tables are created and populated. I can't open the site.


Any ideas?

Hi Lloyd Merithew.
You get this redirection loop due to this port 8888 in your URL. This is a bug, which we will fix in next update.
In general, you have setup oxwall correctly and can use it on your localhost. You must be able to open your site by typing http://localhost:8888/oxwall/ in your browser.
Let me know if it doesn't work.
Thanks for report.

Addenster,
Thanks for the reply but I can't open the site http://localhost:8888/oxwall/ in my browser. I did a complete new install using ow_1.0b5 and still can't access the site.

Same error:
The page isn't redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Addenster,

I found the error was caused by the public function init(): urlHostRedirect()


public function init()
{
// Comment out this urlHostRedirect() and the site will open without the error
// $this->urlHostRedirect();


$this->userAutoLogin();
