Redirection problem after upgrading to 2.5

I have the same issue, eternal redirect to the site. I managed to access the admin screens.

This has something to do with the aliasing problem I’ve been having with this particular installation on this server. My personal server works great, but not this one.

As I had to modify files using an ugly hack to solve the tilde issue in 2.2 and 2.3, I will try to do the same here.

Previously I modified wp-includes/functions.php by inserting the following at line 1030 in wordpress 2.2 or 915 in wordpress 2.3 (or at the beginning of function wp_referer_field):

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = preg_replace( "/%7[Ee]/", "~", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
