redirect but got an infinite loop error

[arjanvr]

Hello,

I tried to make http://subdomain.domain.com redirect to https://subdomain.domain.com for a client of mine in cpanel. I go to redirect and leave type at permanent. Then i select the subdomain and where it should go redirect too I put in https://subdomain.domain.com (offcourse the correct subdomain but with https). Now when I save I get a an infinite loop error. It seems it wants to keep looping this redirect which offcourse all my browsder denie.

What I am I doing wrong here I would assume this is the only way to redirect in cPanel.

Hello

Does the script installed on the subdomain already attempt to redirect to any secure content? Also, are there any existing redirect rules in the .htaccess file within the public_html directory or subdirectory associated with the subdomain?

Thank you.

I also tried it for my own domain and get the same problem. There are no such script or .htaccess settings as far as i know

You should be able to view the directory contents via File Manager in cPanel or with a FTP client in order to see if any .htaccess files exist and if they contain any existing entries.

Thank you.

I got the problem on my own site on http://clients.hostingdreams.nl when trying for redirect to https://clients.hostingdreams.nl but there are in both main dirs only empty .htaccess files so that cannot be it.

This is on my VPS, my client has the same issues on his reseller account
