I am using a free host called ByetHost as I don't need an expensive hosting solution for the website I am building as the traffic will be low.
I am experiencing an infinite redirect loop when attempting to sign in to phpMyAdmin in my VistaPanel account. I am using a CMS and need to backup my database.
When I attempt to enter phpMyAdmin, using the URL http://www.php-myadmin.com/login.php?phpMyAdmin=HASHINHERE I just get this in my browser:
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.
I have cleared all cookies and cache and tried two different browsers (FF and Safari).
I have found out the way to get around this problem and I can imagine it could be an issue for other VistaPanel/cPanel users of phpMyAdmin.
I had to log into the cPanel, change my password, logout, clear all my cookies and then log back in. When I logged back in and tried to connect to phpMyAdmin I could get in fine!
