Apache Stopped Working

[Julie_R]

Hello,

I am working on a Wordpress website and the xampp server just stopped working and I have no idea why.

The Error message on Apache:

I hope you can help with this.

You seems to have an error in .htaccess file or similar, see this error message:

AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

This usually results from an infinite redirection, which redirects once and once again, until Apache crashes. You have to find out if you changed anything to your installation, which could cause that problem.

Thanks Nobbie,

I have only basic knowledge of Apache.

I was working on a Wordpress theme at the time.

How can I find out if I changed anything to the installation?

Really appreciate any help with this.

[Nobbie]

Sorry, i dont know WordPress. I could only give you a hint about that error message. Maybe there is an error in WordPress.

[Julie_R]

Yes it turned out to be a WordPress error.
