Edit: I have only just taken over management of this part-completed site, which was copied over from shared hosting install to a VPS. Some configuration might be slightly wrong - I'm not sure, yet
Update1: I seem to have fixed the looping 'Access Denied' problem. The .htaccess, shown below, was in public_html/ but seems to have been created by Front Page. There was an additional .htaccess in public_html/temp/ (where Drupal is temporarily installed). Adding RewriteBase /temp to that htaccess fixed part of the issue.
I seem to be getting some sort of loop happening on my Drupal 7 installation.
Occasionally on basic pages which don't require authorisation I get multiple lines of 'Access Denied: Please login' . (see Update1)
Pages that are restricted to authorised users should redirect non-authorised (anon.) users to login/register - but at the minute it fails with a redirect loop (ie: if I visit {domain}.co.uk/admin before logging in I fail with a redirect loop).
Also I seem to be having a problem switching between https and http pages. - I think this is the main issue
Here are some details:
- SSL configured for www.{mydomain}.co.uk
- Site does not rewrite {domain}.co.uk to www.{domain}.co.uk
- Module: URL alias disabled (until fixed this)
- Module: URL rewrite disable (until fixed this)
- Module: SecureLogin was installed but now disabled.
- (update) Module: Ubercart SSL causes 302 on ALL pages (may be relevant)
