Addon domain is redirecting to a specific file
Best Answer not yet chosen
Hello, my addon domain of normalfolk.ca became broken after attempting to use simplescripts to save time while setting up a test social site.
now any use of the domain redirects to root/install.php
i've checked all the .htaccess files and can not find the culprit, I am now thinking it is an apache issue?
**EDIT**
here is the .htaccess from the public root
# To set your custom php.ini, add the following line to this file:
# /home/yourusername/path/to/php.ini
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
now any use of the domain redirects to root/install.php

hi ngbutler,
Thanks for posting your question. I'm more than happy to assist you with it today. I suspected it was a re-direct written in the .htaccess file in the add-on domains root folder. I renamed the .htaccess file to .htaccess.old and reloaded your website without error. I have renamed it back correctly, so when you visit the site it will still appear to not load correctly.
I would review the .htaccess rules you have to find the specific culprit.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks!

Hi ngbutler,
When I visit your index.php file, the redirect loop does not happen:
http://normalfolk.ca/index.php
I also tested index.html and index.htm, but those pages don't seem to exist.
What I'm thinking is that there is a bad redirect setup in your .htaccess file. Can you update your question or post in the comments the code that is in your public_html/.htaccess file?
Thanks,
- Brad

I am away from the computer ATM, (on my phone) so i will post the htaccess for you when i get home, but I don't think it's the access file because the problem happens even if the domain's dir is empty, eg no access file and it still points at the install.php from the elgg simplescripts setup.
