Moodle 3.3.2 ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Question

I've installed successfully Moodle version 3.3.2 and at the end, i got an error to connection database. But as i've seen it generated all tables in database moodle. Now, i can't enter, ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on loading pages. URL: http://example.com/admin/index.php?cache=1.

Additional Server information:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 PHP: 5.6 Mysql: 5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

Solution 1

Delete all the data from moodledata folder (Try this only with the new instance otherwise will loose the data), then try to open yourdomain/moodle in your browser. It will work.

Solution 2

Different approach to solving this problem after checking and making sure that apache and php configuration are ok. I the added this line of code to my noodle config file. $CFG->sslproxy = true;

And this resolved the issue.

Solution 3

go on your server directory such as "www=>moodle directory=>admin open index.php find following "redirect("index.php?sessionstarted=1&lang=$CFG->lang");" and comment it i find this on line 712 in moodle 3.7. it might be changed with version save file and refresh page

Solution 4

Search the moodledata directory, enter it and delete the following directories

• cache
• localcache

Yeah, that's work i wanna understand that when i open the Main Page, it shows just a link to Login and nothing else. I suppose that it should be show the calendar and List of courses in the main page and Login form. Is it correct?

It depends on the frontpage settings. Normally the index page list the available courses and login link on right top corner.

Hi @AbhishekGurjar, I was come to this page and trying to delete the cache and localcache in moodledata, but the error come again after few minutes then I figure it out that the server disk was full, that's why deleting cache and localcache was working because it empties some space.
