Loop Redirection?

[Da-Idiot]

I am a newbie with the li9nux networking. I saw this error in my log

Error [209.17.28.176:3107-0] detect loop redirection.

What does this mean? And is it reason to suspect hacker activity?

Thanx for any info.

I notice the port number. That port is being blocked by two firewalls. Why would there be activity on that port. I dont get it. Please let me know any info on the error. Thanx much

It because one script send a redirect to itself.

Looks like the /checkout_process.php take more than 5 minutes to process and request is timed out, is it normal? There might be MySQL dead lock. you should turn off MySQL persistent connection. check your php.ini , default one is in lsws/conf/php.ini

Ok I have turned off persistent connections for mysql. Also turned off in my script.

Hopefully this will help clear the checkout problems also.

Thanx for all the info
