Vanilla 3.3 - Infinite redirect loop on initial setup page - clean install

gwinans · December 2019

I've been messing with this for two hours now. I've made no headway.

I cannot get to the initial setup as it loops endlessly there.

Docs are not very verbose on self-hosted installs and the nginx config offered is a small chunk of an entire config. What am I missing?

Instead of

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @vanilla;
  }

  location @vanilla {
    rewrite ^ /index.php$uri last;
  }

I use

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @vanilla;
}

location @vanilla {
    rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
}

That works for me without problems.

Still no bueno. Still looping.

Is this an nginx issue or is Vanilla just a pain in the ass to get working?

There are many more using a) Vanilla, b) nginx and c) some use them all together. So there might be a third option you haven't thought of yet... 🙄

Beyond pointing you to the docs and what can be found in this forum, there's nothing much I can think of to help you get started, sorry.
