I am getting the
error that others have described, on a fresh, third try, installation on Windows. I have no idea what I am doing wrong here. Using the 2.6.1 latest and greatest as downloaded yesterday.
Can anyone help me out or tell me what addition information I need to provide in order to help with troubleshooting?
Thank you,
Erik
even i experienced the same error ..
I have the same error. I have already cleared and allowed cookies as per advised by the error handler hint, but still does not seem to work.
The message prompts after i have edited the Front page setting, by the time i click home, the problem occurs and cant proceed to anything.
To add details on the mentioned error. Here is the feedback reflected in my browser after clicking home or logout
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
What do the web server error logs say?
Attached are the few last lines when the error occurred. Same error appeared after installing it for the 5th time. I have also used different versions and different browsers in installing it, but was not successful.
Just a guess - try deleting the "cache" and "localcache" subfolders in your moodledata folder. Then reload Moodle in your browser.
If it doesn't help, try to install Moodle 2.4.x.
Whats the point trying 2.4 when you have newer versions, moreover support for 2.4 will go away soon.
I have tried following so far without any success,
Nothing above worked
Anybody, any solution to this problem?
sorry haven't got that problem myself
Have you checked the file permissions? The user that the web server (Apache in your case) is running under must be able to write to your Moodle application and Moodledata folders.
deleting the "cache" folder from server/moodledata on a local moodle 2.6 installation worked for me after two days of looking for an answer.
Thanks a bunch!!!
Was that (deleting the "cache" folder) necessary? Did you first check that folders' permissions and confirm that the IIS/Apache user has write access to it?
I'm having the same problem, and I don't know if this will help because I haven't fixed the problem myself, but my tech guy thinks it has to do with the apache config file. Hopefully I will have more later.
I am also having the same issue.
I am using IOMAD on windows. Version details are given below
$version = 2013051404.01; // 20130514 = branching date YYYYMMDD - do not modify!
// RR = release increments - 00 in DEV branches
// .XX = incremental changes
$release = '2.5.4+ (Build: 20140117)'; // Human-friendly version name
$branch = '25'; // this version's branch
$maturity = MATURITY_STABLE; // this version's maturity level
It seems repeated redirection on same file i.e. /admin/index.php at line # 484 (given below)
// Now we can be sure everything was upgraded and caches work fine,
// redirect if necessary to make sure caching is enabled.
if (!$cache and !optional_param('sesskey', '', PARAM_RAW)) {
redirect(new moodle_url($PAGE->url, array('cache' => 1)));
}

I got the solution for me.
After deleting "cache" folder from "iomaddata" folder, it works fine.

Did you try purging the Moodle caches (Site administration / Development / Purge all caches) before deleting that cache folder? Deleting stuff in the Moodle data folder can have unintended consequences...
Hi Krishan Babbar, i will be really grateful if you can tell me how you got a windows install version of IOMAD, or if you can share a link to it, i will be very grateful. I have searched for days for it but got no answer. Thank you in advance Krishan.
