I'm using heroku, apache, php and gnusocial. My plan is to deploy a GNU Social instance for my family.
I fiddled with the composer.json file, to where it looks like this:
{
"name": "jmm/me-and-mine",
"description": "GNU social is a free social networking platform.",
"require": {
"openid/php-openid": "^2.3",
"ext-gd": "*",
"ext-curl": "*",
"ext-intl": "*",
"ext-json": "*",
"ext-mysqlnd": "*",
"ext-mbstring": "*"
},
"include-path": [
"extlib/"
]
}
where before there was none, although there appears to have been a merge request for a composer.json file once.
Anyway, I allocated a database, and a sendmail grid, and went through the installation steps for gnu social. Most of that is familiar from setting up Drupal, but here I get a strange error I've never seen before:
This page isn’t working leudla.herokuapp.com redirected you too many times. [...] ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
I've tried setting up the page with and without ssl, but preferably, I'd like to set it up with ssl, since I hope to have other people over. Anyone know how I can fix this?
You can get a closer look at the setup here: https://leudla.herokuapp.com
For completeness, I'll also include the .htaccess file. Everything else is stock GNU Social. ** Update ** In the meantime, I've reset the htaccess file that ships with the program, and uncommented the comment that says: "if you have problems". Here it is:
### GNU social "fancy URL" setup
#
# Change the "RewriteBase" in the new .htaccess file to be the URL path
# to your GNU Social installation on your server. Typically this will
# be the path to your GNU Social directory relative to your Web root.
# If you are installing it in the root directory, leave it as '/'.
#
# If it doesn't work, double-check that AllowOverride for the GNU Social
# directory is 'All' in your Apache configuration file. This can be
# * /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (generic)
# * /etc/apache2/sites-available/default(on Debian and Ubuntu)
# * ...many other variations depending on distribution...
#
# See the Apache documentation for .htaccess files for more details:
# https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/htaccess.html
#
# Also, check that mod_rewrite is installed and enabled:
# https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# NOTE: change this to your actual GNU social base URL path,
# minus the domain part:
#
# https://social.example.com/ => /
# https://example.com/social/ => /social/
#
RewriteBase /
#RewriteBase /mublog/
## Uncomment these if having trouble with API authentication
## when PHP is running in CGI or FastCGI mode.
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
## You can also use PATHINFO by using this RewriteRule instead:
# RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
<FilesMatch "\.(ini)">
<IfVersion < 2.3>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion >= 2.3>
Require all denied
</IfVersion>
</FilesMatch>
At MichaelHampton's suggestion, I cleared the browser cache, but still no luck.
** Update: ** I removed a couple of dependencies from composer.json, and got a fresh copy of the gnu social source.
This might seem obvious, but this error only occurs when I enable Server SSL. I wonder if there's additional configuration I need to do.
** Update: ** I renamed the site to leudla.herokuapp.com
