Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

2. In the settings, I deactivated "Clicking outside of article text area closes the article"
3. I clicked on "submit"
4. I got a "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" error.
5. Whatever I do, I get this error.
6. I can see that FreshRSS adds "https://freshrss.maydomain.com/freshrss/p/i/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/" to the URL. Correct would be "https://freshrss.maydomain.com/p/i/"

Might be a regression due to https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/4167 for https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/4126 Maybe similar to https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/4221 Maybe related to https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/4610

Could you check what base_url you have in your ./data/config.php ?

Ideally, there should be no /p/ in your URL, so the main page should be on https://freshrss.example.net/i/

[oliversum-ch]

Thanks for your reply! You're right, the base_url was wrong - no idea why, I didn't change anything and FreshRSS was working smoothly for more than one year with these settings. It wonly works with https://freshrss.example.net/p/ though, I immediately get an infinite redirect with https://freshrss.example.net/i/.

[Alkarex]

Could you please tell where your Web root is in your local file structure (for instance /var/www/FreshRSS/p/), what working URL you have, and what base_url you have?

[oliversum-ch]

Sure! Root: /home/sites/7b/0/09ec7hg48d/public_html/FreshRSS/ Working URL (I assume that's the URL I'm using to access FreshRSS): https://freshrss.mydomain.com/ 'base_url' => 'https://freshrss.mydomain.com/p/'

[Alkarex]

Can you try with the opposite:

• Root: /home/sites/7b/0/09ec7hg48d/public_html/FreshRSS/p/
• Base URL: https://freshrss.example.net/

[oliversum-ch]

That seems to work, thank you! Interesting, I installed FreshRSS using Cpanel - looks like their installation paths were wrong. Thank you!

[Alkarex]

@oliversum-ch Could you try to reach-out to Cpanel?

[oliversum-ch]

I'm using shared hosting with Cpanel. Let me contact my hoster, but I fear I cannot directly contact Cpanel...

[aledeg]

@oliversum-ch any new development on that issue?

[oliversum-ch]

@oliversum-ch any new development on that issue?

No - my shared hosting promised it to forward it to Cpanel, but I don't expect any further answer...

[Alkarex]

I cannot reproduce any problem at the moment, even with slightly wrong settings. It might have been a combination of browser cache and wrong settings.
