Something wrong with redirects on my Joomla 1.5.18 site

Question

My Joomla 1.5.18 site, I enabled login, when I click login the page I get sent to is NOT styled with CSS. If I login it redirects to the home page and it is not styled anymore either. It looks like it is recursively appending stuff to the URL incorrectly.

if I click on home page or login links it keeps putting more and more index.php entries in the URL, and sometimes on the end. The following is what I get when I try and go to a JEvents menu item.

http://www.myjoomlasite.org/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/upcomingevents/month.calendar/2010/06/09/index.php

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I don't know what to search for on Google apparently, and none of the Joomla! books I have address this.

Answer 1

I figured it out I had turned on Search Engine Friendly URLs in SEO Settings under Global Configuration. Turning this back off fixed the problem. Now I guess another question will be along the lines on how to get the Search Engine Friendly URL's to work again.

Answer 2

Are you, by any chance, running this on IIS? If so, what kind of rewrite tool are you using? And, if it is running on IIS, are you sure that URL rewriting works? Finally, if you are on Apache, you should post a copy of your .htaccess file.

Answer 3

What value do you have for your $live_site in your configuration.php?

Is it only JEvents that is causing the problem?
