Web: Limit Internal Recursion?

_Andy_

Hi guys

I am working on a website, using Joomla 1.5 hosted on Hostgator.
After having ongoing issues with server not responding quickly, I asked the guy who actually owns the site to contact Hostgator. They said

"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.
(04:57:35 PM) David Ca: Usually this error indicates a script or process on that page is causing a resource constraint on the server."

Does anyone know what this means we should do to fix it? In simple terms
thanks!

Sounds like you a have a loop in one of your scripts. It seems in a lot of cases to relate to redirects in htaccess.

Get a host that can facilitate Joomla properly and reply to problems in a easy to understand manner!

@steve - totally agree. Trying to persuade him to move, I can't stand Hostgator.
@Davb - thanks - where should I be looking for this?

Yeah, so I was just spoke to this guy, and he was like "I know Joomla inside and out, let me teach you."

He gestured for me to sit and listen, and hours passed while he explained, "As his website is using too much server requirements hence why he is getting that error ... He needs someone to look at his htaccess file and java script requests first "

I know right, mind blowing stuff. I could barely speak or contain my excitement, and it took a strong sedative and a brisk walk to calm myself.

Right here's the contents of the ht access file

"
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp-backup/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp-backup/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
"

I am running Joomla 1.5 but was on WP, could that be causing a problem?
thanks in advance

With the comment lines that are in there, it looks like it's all to do with WP - so if you aren't using it anymore, that could be your issue, although it does need investigation.
I believe there is supposed to be a basic htaccess file installed with Joomla - as htaccess.txt located in the root of the public_html or home directory where you have installed Joomla, which would obviously need renaming to .htaccess to make it work - maybe worth a try, but back-up your current one first.
