To avoid the "too many redirects" error in your .htaccess file, you can take the following steps:

  1. Check for any infinite redirect loops: Ensure that your .htaccess file does not have any rules that are causing a loop of redirects. Make sure your redirect rules are structured correctly to prevent infinite loops.
  2. Limit the number of redirect rules: Keep your redirect rules to a minimum. Having too many redirect rules can increase the chances of hitting the "too many redirects" error. Try to consolidate and simplify your redirect rules as much as possible.
  3. Use the L flag: When writing redirect rules in your .htaccess file, make sure to use the [L] flag at the end of each rule to indicate that it is the last rule to be applied. This will prevent any further rules from being processed after the current rule has been matched.
  4. Check for conflicting rules: Make sure there are no conflicting redirect rules in your .htaccess file. If you have multiple rules that may overlap or conflict with each other, it can lead to the "too many redirects" error. Review your rules and make sure they are not conflicting with each other.
  5. Clear your browser cache: Sometimes the "too many redirects" error can be caused by cached redirects in your browser. Clear your browser cache and try accessing the website again to see if the error persists.


By following these steps and ensuring that your .htaccess file is properly configured, you can avoid the "too many redirects" error and ensure that your redirects work correctly.
