Hi, I get some kind of a nested redirection problem with the new version of gallery. If I do a totally clean install, it works ok. If I use the database from my original installation, I get the error. I suspect it has something to do with the rewrite module. I tried just changing the name of the .htaccess file, but that didn't work. I've enabled debugging, but I don't get any clues from it. The last few lines before it stops are: 2009-11-01 15:18:55 [TMP_SESSION_ID_DI_NOISSES_PMT] getParameter id.adminGroup for core plugin Firefox gives me this: 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. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept [Try again button] Any hints most appreciated. Mickey

Disable the rewrite module, and re-enable it.

Also, did you first upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2 before upgrading to 2.3? If so, I'm curious as to how you have a working install (minus the redirection issue)
You might have to go through this:
FAQ: I enabled mod_rewrite, but it's not working, and now I can't get back to disable it - how else can I do this?
And if you in fact didn't successfully upgrade to 2.3, you can get 2.1 from here:

Thanks a lot for the hints.
I removed the rewrite option using sql via phpadmin as shown in the FAQ, cleared the cache as shown in the FAQ, and I still have the same problem.
I did a "complete overwrite" update to 2.3 where I installed it in a different directory and then copied all the files over the top of 2.0 and then when I went to my gallery/update directory via a web browser. This walked me through an update process that seemed to work - at least there were no error messages.
I am guessing that something is not right in my DB - I have a feeling that it was recently upgraded by Bluehost, but I'm not sure.
Any other suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks, Mickey

You could try switching on debug mode, which may allow you to step through the redirection loop, and give you more info:

Is there a .htaccess file in the gallery directory?
gallery/lib/support seems to work
gallery/upgrade/ seems to work as well

I tried the debug mode, but no hints there that were useful to me. The file is quite large.

I've tried removing the .htaccess file with no effect.

Check the integrity of the files:

Is there an .htaccess file above your gallery install?
