Global Redirect 6.x-1.0 broke my Drupal 6.4 install today.

Today I upgraded Drupal from 6.3 to 6.4 and tested it. Seemed to work fine.

Then I updated half a dozen modules, including Global Redirect, after which Drupal 6.4 wouldn't run properly anymore. I'm not an experienced Drupal tester so I'll just describe what I did.

I could still access the update.php script so I performed all updates. The homepage would still work, but opening any node or going to /admin/ would show a 'too many redirects' error in the browser.

Deleting all the upgraded modules' files and reinstalling them one-by-one showed me that the problem was caused by Global Redirect. Installing it and enabling the module made the problem return.

Trying the August 5th 6.x-1.x snapshot didn't help either. Same problem.

I'm willing to try any suggestions you might have to fix this great module. Thanks.

Had the same issue. Does the patch I posted at http://drupal.org/node/295254#comment-971423 work for you? As I said in that other issue, I'm not sure of the ramifications of this patch, but it seems to make sense to me.

The too many redirects issue is likely a duplicate of the #216271: Endless loop with translation (D6) issue... Do you have any internationalization/translation stuff installed? Do you have anything which rewrites the URL (such as subdomain or facebook modules)?

No reply for 11 days + a fix (I hope!) for the endless loop with translation for D6. Marking as duplicate of #216271...
