I just finished installing and configuring the calendar and date modules and my site started to I had problems loading. I took my site offline to try to work it out. Now, even when I try to log in I get this message on Firefox
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

It isn't cookie's or firewall. I have even tried it on multiple computers. I deleted the calendar and date modules using my FTP program, but that didn't do anything either. I googled around for this problem, but I didn't see any fixes. Now I am completely locked out of my site.

When I've seen this error message, it's been an issue with a line in the HTACCESS file - typically when I was testing something out with a Rewrite rule.

Can I just upload a new htaccess file or is it more complicated than that?

If you have potentially made needed changes to an HTACCESS file, then I would recommend saving a copy. But, yes, you could probably just upload the default HTACCESS file from Drupal to at least see if that lets you back in.

I got the same error message when I had Global Redirect and Sub Alias URL modules installed. Removing them both helped, but it's possible they hadn't been configured correctly on my system. Just uninstalling Global Redirect did NOT work; it reinstalled itself without my knowledge! I had to completely remove the module folder and all its contents before I got rid of this error.

Installing the Global Redirect module in Drupal 7 with i18n resulted in the same error message (see #1034126: Infinite loop (error 310) with i18n in D7). After deleting the module folder, I could access the site again. Then I copied the module folder again and could disable the module on the modules page.

Now the site works, but without Global Redirect.

I am seeing the following behavior:

1.) When I navigate to my site, I get a screen that has a login panel on one side and a message indicating that the site is in Maintenance Mode on the other side.
2.) When I log in using the login panel, I get the "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request ..." message.
3.) I do not have the Global ReDirect module installed.
4.) When I change my settings.php file to point to an earlier version of my data base, the site comes up just fine.

Any suggestions??

OK, I got this fixed. I had been installing Advanced Poll, and had to use a combination of drush and access to my data base to remove all vestiges of the Advanced Poll installation [several modules including Voting API]. Once I did that, my site came back up just fine.
