title: Apache and Internal Server error and internal redirects on WordPress install
body: <p>I am unable to do WordPress installations automatically on my local Apache for the past 4 weeks. The normal process on another machine goes standard - copy the WP install, run and the install script is executed. What I see here is either blank page, or Internal Server Error.</p>
  
  <p>Even if I do correct manually my wp-config.php file with the settings and install, I receive the same error again. The last WP versions are distributed with no .htaccess so I expect no .htaccess to be required on each install for my local server.</p>
  
  <p>Here there are my httpd.conf settings for the directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory "/var/www/html"&gt;
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      AllowOverride All
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>mod_rewrite is loaded here.</p>
  
  <p>I was suspicious about my /etc/hosts as well, but we have the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1   localhost   localhost.localdomain
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I had a look in my php.ini file (PHP is 5.3.3), no specific problems. However, my error log from apache states the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code> [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas? </p>
