Err_too_many_redirects - No idea why

Help
#3

I am tried to enter that in the SSH window, but ti says it isn’t available. Can I get help how to pull up that information?

#4

Exactly what did you enter, and exactly what was the error message?

/etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf is – or should be – a text file, not a command. So you can run a command like “cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf” to display it.

Here is what I entered:

doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~/certbot/certbot/certbot$ /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf?
-bash: /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf?: No such file or directory
doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~/certbot/certbot/certbot$ cd
doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf? -bash: /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf?: No such file or directory doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~

doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ cat/etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf -bash: cat/etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf: No such file or directory doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~

There needs to be a space after "cat".

doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf

Well, there's the redirect:

You are wonderful. How do I get rid of the redirect?

You can use a text editor to modify this file. The one that’s most often recommended to novices is nano because it’s fairly self-documenting.

Do I simply remove everything after the word redirect?

#13

You could comment out the line by adding a # character at the beginning, so that you preserve the information about what used to be there but prevent it from having an effect on your configuration.

What file or file name should I open with nano?

#15

Thanks. I looked in varied of files, but only found code in Apache2.conf, but no redirect command.

Any other file name you would suggest I look in? Below is what file types I tried.

doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.conf doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled.conf
doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled.conf doug@wordpress-nextstudy-vm:~ nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

#16

I think I found the right file - /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-le-ssl.conf

When I put “#” in front of the redirect and tried to save it said permission denied, but I have the highest level of ownership. Any idea why?

#17

Try putting sudo in front of the command.

#19

But are you running the text editor as root?

With e.g. “sudo nano” or by using “sudoedit”?

#20

Thank you it worked! Do I need to reset or restart the server for it take effect? I am still getting the same error message of too many redirects.

#21

Try sudo service apache2 reload to get your Apache server to pick up the new configuration.
