2.2b1 Redirection looping on setup/etc. (Hostgator-specific issue?)
SickBoy
New
I tried upgrading to 2.2b1 from 2.1.11, and got a redirection loop notification from every browser I tried. So I tried doing a fresh install, still no dice.
Apache Version 2.2.29
PHP Version 5.4.33
MySQL Version 5.5.42-cll
- I've tried removing the .ini files from /cache
- I've tried editing the .htaccess to point RewriteBase properly
I was able to get the install to work properly when I used 2.1.11's .htaccess, but putting 2.2b1's back in afterwards ended up making it impossible to get anywhere except the main page.
I think the problem is with my host (Hostgator) as I've seen a few other folks mention the same thing... is there something I can do WHM/CPANEL/etc.-wise to fix this problem (I'm on a VPS, but not super knowledgeable when it comes to backend configuration changes), is this an actual bug, or do I need to contact them directly?
Thanks!

Check also my error handling, cause it sounds similarly to mine...
It's not quite what yours was, as changing RewriteBase doesn't fix the problem.
As for your other methods: I'm actually trying this with a brand new install (I only initially tried it as an update to a new 2.1.11 install), so it isn't applicable. I've made entirely new databases and folders/accounts for the attempts, so there are no remnants of old installs or anything.
My problem is very similar (if not exactly the same) as http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/230797/#Comment_230797
I tried enabling AcceptPathInfo in the .htaccess in a variety of ways (as this mentioned), but it didn't work. Not sure if that's because Hostgator disabled the ability to do that, or if AcceptPathInfo simply isn't the problem.
