Redirecting error

Hi,

I’m trying to install wordpress for a friend of mine. He’s got jamroom installed in the root directory and I’m trying to install wordpress in a subdirectory. The install is fine but I can’t access the blog because i get this error:

{{Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
This webpage has a redirect loop

We contacted the webhost and they said it’s the jamroom’s .htaccess file that causes the problem. They said that the redirects are preventing us from using any subdirectories not associated with jamroom.

What do we have to change in the .htaccess file to solve this problem?

This is the content of the .htaccess file

Thanks

I guess I wouldn’t rule that out. Aside from the possible redirect setup in the .htaccess file, is there anything else that was done specifically to the .htaccess file? If not, should be able to recreate it and start over fresh.

Is it possible to add an extra line for a specific directory (in which the WP is in this case) so it would be an exception?

can look into .htaccess file as this may help you out with the solution.

I believe you need to check all of your redirects and perhaps install them on the side of the server not in the .htaccess file only.
