Redirect Loop while using .htaccess for protected folder

Hi,

I am using amember with new_rewrite module. Below is the code in the .htaccess file for protected directories.

########### AMEMBER START #####################
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

## allow access for product #5
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} amember_nr=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
RewriteCond SERVER_PATH/data/new_rewrite/%1-5 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L]

## if user is not authorized, redirect to login page
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MYSITE.COM/plugins/protect/new_rewrite/login.php?v=-5&url=%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MYSITE.COM/plugins/protect/new_rewrite/login.php?v=-5&url=%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
########### AMEMBER FINISH ####################


When the User is not logged in the .HTACCESS redirects the user to Amember login page. However, when a user login It gives "REDIRCTED LOOP" error in my browser. At the browser address bar it shows the original URL of the protected folder.

Please anyone to address my problem. Please let me know how to correct this.


Thanks

Are you protecting the amember folder or an outside folder?
(you dont protect the amember folder)

David i am protecting an outside folder.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

I have installed the amember in my root of website.The folder i am protecting is are at Non-protected-Folder/Protected-Folder. The .HTACCESS file (with code mentioned above) is inside the protected-folder.

Also, i have checked within my browser Cookie name as " amember_nr " is created after login and then it gives Redirected Loop Error.

Please Suggest.

Thanks

Was this ever solved??

If so, how?

I'm having the same issue. However, it's only for certain products.

I've got 4 products. Product 1 works fine, but products 2,3, & 4 give the redirect loop when trying to view the content from the "login" link on the thank you page, as well as when trying to access from the account page.

Any help is appreciated...
