# Redirection Loop on localhost

 * Hi,
 * I’m busy trying to fix a problem I’m having running a localhost of a clients 
   website.
 * I recently picked up a new client and have moved a copy of the website to my 
   computer at home, I’m using MAMP to host the files and I have setup a folder 
   for the site like I have done with all my other wordpress installs.
 * The admin side of things works perfectly fine but on the user end everything 
   is getting stuck in a redirection loop, even webpages that don’t exist.
 * The redirection loop pattern goes like this when I request a page:
 * localhost/website/about
    localhost/website/website/about localhost/website/website/
   website/about etc..
 * So far I have checked the siteurl and home options and I have checked the permalinks.
 * Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 * I know that the previous dev installed redirection and isecurity on the theme
   I’m pretty sure both of those have an affect on the htaccess file.

 * you could open the htaccess file and find the 301 redirect
    or rather disable
   the redirect plugin but before you do it list all the redirect made in the site.
