Pretty URL .htacces code giving ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Permalink
Hi there,

Google send me an email saying that my site wasn't being indexed because of a redirect error in page
mydomain.com/concrete/images/

My host provider told me it is the .htaccess code. I have tested it taking out the pretty url code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

and it stops the redirection error.

Does anybody know why is this or how to solve it?
Thank you!

Do you have another htaccess file in the concrete/images folder?
What is in that folder other than images?

Hi @wayboat
I have checked, it has only images and folders with images. It is a C5 original folder which I updated to RC4, but it is still having that redirection issue after I updated.
The actual link is this:

beautebook.com/concrete/images/

Thank you!

I was wondering why /concrete/images/ has to be accesible anyway. Wouldn't a non-index or disallow rule in the robots file solve the issue?
I have tested it over and over, I had non www to www redirection, but I took it away.

I left only the pretty url rerwrite rules, and when I do that, I get the INET_E_REDIRECT_FAILED error in that specific location (domain.com/concrete/images/)

Looking at the source code of your home page I see multiple references to http [your site name].
These should be edited to read https [your site name] for your site if you want to have a secure (SSL) site.
I suspect there is a redirect setup somewhere that tries to redirect from http to https

Thank you @weyboat!

I did find some https links, I changed them to http. How do I know if the redirection issue is solved?
I put back the .html code for pretty url and non www to www redirection, and now
when I go to beautebook.com/concrete/images I get redirected tohttp://www.beautebook.com/index.php,... is that ok?

It works for me if I drop the index.php from the url, so I would say yes it is okay..

Looking at the browser console there are 20 images being called by..
packages/theme_long_story_short/themes/long_story_short/js/main.js?v1.1.1
They are called in the preload function but do not exist on the server?

EDIT
The list of missing files is:

That's strange... thank you @weyboat
I have just deleted all of them and left only the /application/files/6215/2476/5886/Home162.png which I looked for its right address...

Now my .htaccess is this
AddType application/x-httpd-php70 .php
        # -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
# Redirect to www
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
    RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
RedirectMatch 301 /201/(.*) /premade-book-cover-catalog
RedirectMatch 301 /p/(.*) /

The problem still exists with your packages/theme_long_story_short/themes/long_story_short/js/main.js?v1.1.1 is still trying to preload those same missing images
Here is the first part of that javascript code..
$(document).ready(function() {
        console.log("main.js");
// preload images
        function preload(arrayOfImages) {
                $(arrayOfImages).each(function(){
                        $('<img/>')[0].src = this;
                        // Alternatively you could use:
                        // (new Image()).src = this;
                });
        }
        preload([
    '/application/files/1414/5497/7720/Home162.png',
    '/application/files/2514/5585/0050/FotoNike2.png',
   '/application/files/5714/5585/0035/FotoMaria2.png',
    '/application/files/1714/5495/7014/Book_Cover_Design_007-min.jpg',

There must be some method of resetting the list of preload images that the packages/theme_long_story_short/themes/long_story_short/js/main.js?v1.1.1 is loading.

Within your htaccess file you have several 301 redirects.
Examples ...
RedirectMatch 301 /book-cover-design-order-form-2-2   /book-cover-design-order-form
RedirectMatch 301 /book-cover-design-order-form-2/   /book-cover-design-order-form

Concrete5 provides a better method of redirecting, in the sitemap locate your page (book-cover-design-order-form) click the filename and select 'Location', enter the old urls as per the image I have attached.
Then edit your htaccess file to remove those 301 redirects.

Thank you @weyboat...

You must have a browser cached site, I have deleted all the preload images but one...

I think maybe the concrete/images location is protected, and that is why is messing up redirection with pretty url code. I wonder why I am the only one with that issue...
