 * Guys,
    This has never happened to me before so it’s either a server side or WP
   side problem. I have seen quite a few such issues reported, but none of the solutions
   seems to make a difference.
 * WP is loaded into /wp directory. Performing a simple domain redirect assignment
   always worked for me before, but this installation gives me
 * “this page has redirect loop
 * error. I have modified the config file and defined site address and it DOES work,
   provided I also remove .htaccess file from the site. However, this causes a mess
   in permalinks (I think) and while home page opens, none of the articles can be
   opened as they cause 404 – page not found error.
 * So I’m between hammer and anvil at this point. I’m assuming there is something
   I need to do with that .htaccess file (or permalinks perhaps), but am not sure
   what.
 * site address: [http://darkroomapprentice.com](http://darkroomapprentice.com) (
   this may work depending on what I’m doing about the fix.

 * Let me add that a permalink reset does NOT make a difference.

 * And just to anticipate, this has started BEFORE any plugins (other than default
   ones) were installed

 * Problem has been solved by my host, however I’ve never found out what they did
   to fix it.

 * Case closed in a sense of my problem, but I think anyone with some input on this
   issue could still help somebody, especially since I do not know what was done
   to fix it.
