I am working on a drupal site which I checked out (svn) to my localhost.
Now the problem is that when I go to:
http://www.site.com
it all works fine, but when I go to:
http://localhost/work/site
I get redirected to
http://www.localhost.com/work/site
I have ran the install.php script and all works great. It reinstalls everything but when I go to the main site the redirect occurs.
I removed the .htaccess file, didn't do anything.
I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 (also tried on winxp pro 32) apache 2.2, php 5.2.13
Anyone know anyway to fix this?
Thanks
The redirect is caused by Firefox not being able to get a good connection with the local server and then trying to "fix" the address. You can disable the behavior in Firefox as follows:
However that will not solve your underlying problem (local server isn't responding right), it will just get rid of really annoying behavior. There are several possible causes of this failure, the host file problem MatW suggested is a common cause.
In my case Drupal seems to be crashing Apache during certain page loads, which is hard to diagnose/fix when your browser keeps redirecting itself away from the page you need to refresh.
Have you checked your window's hosts file? Not sure about where it lives in Windows 7, but in XP it lives here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Make sure there is an entry like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
As a double-check, you may want to flush your PCs DNS cache. Go into the command line and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
