    i can log into my amember site,

    when you login for some reason it now takes you to the member.php page....

    it never did that until 1 week ago, out of the blue.

    when i try to access /membersarea (which is the main page of the members area), it keeps redirecting over and over and gets an error.

    we can't access the members area, or the forum.

    here's the error:

    Redirect Loop

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

    HELP!

    have you accidentally protected your aMember directory?

    Check the .htaccess file in your amember root directory, it should look something like this:

    Code:
    <Files ~ "\.inc\.php$">
    <Limit GET POST>
    Order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Limit>
    </Files>

    Skippys got it- you accidentally put directory protection on your amember directory. Delete out the current .htaccess file and replace it with the code skippy gave you.
