Description Håvard Wigtil 2007-03-19 19:26:17 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrading to horde 3.1.4-1.fc6, I get a redirect loop on login.
Firefox comes up with this message after a little while:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

And in my logs I get this:
84.48.62.251 - - [19/Mar/2007:20:12:10 +0100] "GET /horde/ HTTP/1.1" 302 26
84.48.62.251 - - [19/Mar/2007:20:12:10 +0100] "GET /horde/index.php/login.php
HTTP/1.1" 302 26
84.48.62.251 - - [19/Mar/2007:20:12:10 +0100] "GET /horde/index.php/login.php
HTTP/1.1" 302 26
(the last line repeated 18 times)

Downgrading to 3.1.3-11 fixes the problem for me.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
horde 3.1.4-1.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 Brandon Holbrook 2007-03-20 05:59:22 UTC

It seems that horde introduced some new webroot-detection mechanisms to 'more
intelligently' generate URLs back to itself.  This autodetection is bombing on
our file structure (config files in /etc instead of under /usr/share/horde).  I
have just recently found a few other issues I believe to be caused by this
autodetection, and I believe your problem falls under this category too.

In /etc/horde/registry.php in the 'horde' section, try changing the 'webroot'
setting to '/horde' instead of _detect_webroot().  I have already included this
fix in rawhide, but if this change resolves your issues too, I will push an
update for FC6 as well.

Changing webroot to '/horde' fixes this problem for me, thanks!

Comment 3 Brandon Holbrook 2007-03-21 02:36:36 UTC

webroot is now hard-coded to '/horde' in horde-3.1.4-2.fc[567]
