I'm getting inifinite redirects from all 6 wiki's on my host (Vortech). Of course, the host says there isn't a problem. Everything was working fine until last night then they all started doing this. A few of these haven't been changed at all in months. Any ideas on what's going? I don't know what to tell the host to look into. Interesting that 1.4 acts a slightly different then the 1.5 versions.

I have 6 mediawiki's on the mudabone.com http://mudabone.com account with Vortech. 5 of these are version 1.5 and one is version 1.4. Everything has been working fine until last night. Now, all the 1.5 wiki's are doing infinite redirects. What changed? Any ideas?
urls: http://mudabone.com/wiki/index.php - 1.4 works (but only the first page - clicking any of the links goes into infinite redirect mode) http://mudabone.com/bling/index.php - 1.5 doesn't work http://mudabone.com/wikisecure/index.php - 1.5 doesn't work http://mudabone.com/bling/index.php - 1.5 doesn't work http://mudabone.com/blingman/index.php - 1.5 doesn't work http://mudabone.com/recipe/index.php - 1.5 doesn't work

Group - any ideas on this? This is what I'm getting back from support at vortech. Anyone know a work around for this? Again this is happening to all 1.4 and 1.5(rc4) mediawiki installations on their servers.

Hello Ben,
yes we had a php Change on the system. It now runs kinda as a module nad kinda as a CGI. We know the only thing that changed was our way to handle PHP so let's debug and see why we cannot get it right yet.
This is what the server is replying.. Does it make any sense to you?

This is a reasonably common problem, and it usually comes down to a problem with ReWrite rules in the apache config. (Oh, and btw even the first, 1.4, link you give fails for me). I also know that there are some differences in the way different PHP handlers deal with URLs - some of them mangle up "?"s or "&"s or something and require a special workaround.
Sorry, this isn't very clear, and I may be barking up the wrong tree anyway, but perhaps have a look in the archives (use Google/Yahoo/etc with "site:mail.wikipedia.org" in the query) for people describing similar problems.

I should note also, I had the same problem with User and site-wide CSS and JS pages when using a non-standard naming scheme, with perfectly valid rewrites. (I hacked Title.php to generate URLs in the form of /wiki/article?query instead of /w/index.php?title=article&query. v1.4, I don't know if this has been fixed yet...)
MediaWiki can be very touchy sometimes about URLs, since I'm pretty sure it tries to redirect to the normal name of a page.
Also, how can PHP be ran "kinda as a module and kinda as a CGI"???

For the archives... this fixed this issue:
## If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs # $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1"; $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1";
