# update.php redirect loop

 * I updated my old wordpress (2.0) to the 2.8.1 Beta 2 and almost everything is
   going ok. But I’ve problems in these situations:
 * – Installing/updating new plugins with the admin panel
    – Installing/updating
   new themes with the admin panel – Updating WP core
 * In all of these cases, after entering the FTP access information, Firefox give
   me a redirect loop error. If I try with Explorer 6 I wait and nothing occurs.
 * I’ve given 777 access to plugins and themes folders with no result. The FTP access
   information is ok, so I can delete plugins from the admin panel.
 * An URL example giving this error: /wp-admin/update.php?action=install-plugin&
   plugin=intensedebate&_wpnonce=8fed84fc7e
 * Anyone can help?
 * Thx!

 * Please share what you had to change/add to the .htaccess file. I don’t think 
   I’ve ever regretted a WordPress update before. Sometimes updating the plugin 
   works, sometimes it doesn’t.
