redirect loop error on datalife engine

Question

I have a problem on my datalife engine post url. In some of the my posts I get "The page isn't redirecting properly" on firefox and other browser. It seems this problem became from htaccess properties.

First suggestion? Consider an MVC framework to mitigate hairy .htaccess files like this.

Second suggestion, enable debugging and view the logs to track down where the redirect is occurring.

Add this rule before all these rules:

## if rewritten already
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^200$ [OR]
## If the request is for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
## If the request is for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
## If the request is for a valid link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
## don't do anything
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

Why don't you enable option "Check invalid SEO URL: Yes"?

Datalife Engine using article ID based article, so if the article ID in your database even if the "alt_name" is incorrect, DLE still can find your article regardless of your SEO URL is. the file .htaccess should be remain untouched unless you are using other mod_rewrite than apache.

The problem goes from alt name when it has a invalid character like "&". Datalife security filter that url and shown loop error. I changed all urls like that and problem solved. thanks guys by the way. – user2490319 Nov 10 '13 at 05:41
