Too many redirects

[Lee Daniel]

Hey Peter,

Thanks so much for the helpful response.

I'm only now seeing the response, I needed this weeks ago. It went to my 
spam ����

Anyways, I added the rewrite:trace3 to the LogLevel and some Apache 
errors did appear indeed.

<date>   Error    <ip> [rewrite:trace2] mod_rewrite.c(490): 127.0.0.1 -

redirect to https://<redacted>.<redacted>.com/ [REDIRECT/301]

Does this confirm what was highlighted in the github repo as the issue?

May I ask what would you suggest?

Thanks,

Lee Daniel
