Re: 404 errors turning into 500 errors through internal redirects
The specific error that shows in the error log is
[Fri May 22 15:44:40 2009] [error] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2840
I just clicked the link from an earlier post and the 500 error happened.
xx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [22/May/2009:15:44:40 -0700] "GET /wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg HTTP/1.1" 500 612 "https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2840" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) FirePHP/0.3"
the latter is from my access log.
My permissions are set correctly, that’s usually the first thing i check.
now onto a couple more of your questions:
Have you searched the WPMU forums for 500 Internal Server Error thread? I think this may be more related to you WPMu install than BuddyPress?
Yes, I have searched WPMU forums, and even posted on there my problem, but no one reponded. I was pretty sure that it was related more towards WPMU. But these errors only started happening a few weeks ago, after I upgraded to WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0
Are you using some special permalink structure? That should not be causing the lack of 404’s but every bit of info helps.
No, everything I was using was either in the htaccess.dist and the wp-super-cache (which has since been taken out until i find the cause). The permalink structure that I use on http://sportsblognet.com is the “year/month/day/name” option, which is one of the standard ones.
Did you carefully follow the readme.txt file that comes with WPMU?
I just re-read it to be sure, yes, yes I did follow it.
Is this a new WPMU 2.7.1 install, or did you upgrade from an older version?
This is an upgrade from WPMU 2.7, it was first created with WPMU 1.3.3 over a year ago. We’ve been following buddypress since October of 2008 and have been using it since 12/08, when the first beta came out. I’ve upgraded pretty much everytime without problem. And these Internal Redirects only started after the upgrade to WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0 at the beginning of May.
