strange error message on initial run

[Bruce Ferrell]

when I point to index.php I get a message from firefox:

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.


Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

I just dealt with this issue a few days ago when upgrading from 1.0.1
to the latest 1.1.0.5 ... as it turns out it was encountering an error
and instead of showing a proper error it gets itself caught into an
infinite redirect from the "system_message" function in
"/lib/functions.php".

I had to comment/disable the redirect on line 613 of
"/lib/functions.php" for starters, then I could start to analyze the
remaining files of code and place quick breakpoints (or simple echo
statements) throughout the code to find out what was wrong.

[ /phpldapadmin/lib/functions.php : line 612-615 ]
--------------------------------------------
if ($redirect) {
//    header("Location: $redirect");  // comment to prevent redirection
//    die();
}
--------------------------------------------

I don't know if this methodology is intentional, but it is somewhat
close to being an issue of improper error handling ... of which I
don't have time to fix at the moment, ah, and I am not a dev for this
project either.

So anyway, what I found out was that I had a mistyped value in
"/config/config.php" for the $ldapservers array ... therefore, it WAS
my fault that made the whole thing blow up.  Specifically, somehow I
changed 'dn' in this line to 'uid' while setting it up.  Since I
didn't even try to use phpldapadmin until I had the whole server
working, I had no idea that I broke it so early on in the
configuration.

[ /phpldapadmin/config/config.php ]
--------------------------------------------
$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','dn','cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=tld');
 // this is correct
--------------------------------------------

I'd suggest that you might be experiencing a similar issue, but I
don't know how widespread the mis-managed error handling is.  But
definitely start with this array, and make sure you've established all
the values properly.

Good luck, I'll keep an eye out if you need further help, and please
post when/if you do find an answer!
