I was setting up a new Magento 2 installation for a project.\u00a0 It’s the first time I’ve done it from scratch for a long time.<\/p>\n
I setup the code, vhost, host file rewrite to my local vm, etc.\u00a0 Went to http:\/\/mydomain.local\/ and got redirected to http:\/\/mydomain.local\/setup with a message saying “Too many redirects.”<\/p>\n
It turns out that if you setup your vhost the right way and point to {magento-root}\/pub the web installer doesn’t work.<\/p>\n
The fix was to point the vhost to {magento-root}, run the web installer then change the vhost root back to {magento-root}\/pub.<\/p>\n
In apache it looked like this for the install:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\r\n ServerName mysite.local\r\n DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/mysite\/httpdocs\r\n <Directory \"\/var\/www\/mysite\/httpdocs\">\r\n Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews\r\n AllowOverride All\r\n Allow from all\r\n Require all granted\r\n <\/Directory>\r\n<\/VirtualHost>\r\n<\/pre>\nThen I changed it back to this for the development of the site:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\r\n ServerName mysite.local\r\n DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/mysite\/httpdocs\/pub\r\n <Directory \"\/var\/www\/mysite\/httpdocs\/pub\">\r\n Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews\r\n AllowOverride All\r\n Allow from all\r\n Require all granted\r\n <\/Directory>\r\n<\/VirtualHost><\/pre>\nObviously the production site will have a lot more apache directives in it, or better yet, use Nginx and php-fpm with SSL directives, etc.\u00a0 But for development on a local Apache server, this works great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
