This is my third try installing phpnuke 6. Each time I get this same error, 'Redirection limit for this url exceeded. Unable to reload the requested page'. I am using Mozilla 1.1. IE6 doesn't give the error, it just shows me a white page. I have checked and rechecked the config.php and can't find anything wrong. I need help! Anyone know what might cause this?
I also chmoded all the files and folders in www to 777 - just in case.
I am able to connect to the mysql server, I ran a test script (see it at the end) with positive results.
Also, I uploaded the tar file and untarred it on the server. I only used vi (via telnet) to do edits on the config.php file.
There is a post on this problem on the nuke site, see

One suggested fix was :
----------------------------
Well, the problem seems to be fixed, and here's what I think did it: I added a user account to MySQL for [phpnukeuser]@localhost & [phpnukeuser]@[mydomain]. I did this in phpMyAdmin by following this example from the MySql Reference manual:
"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON [dbname].* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION"
If anyone else is having the 'redirection limit' problem, maybe this solution will work for you too.
---------------------------
First of all, localhost is the only kind of sql user I know how to configure, is the other one really necessary?
I connected successfully to the database using mysql in a telnet session and tried the "grant all privileges" but it told me I was not authorized or something like that.
Any thoughts on things I could try?
THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!

P. S.
The script I ran with sucess, it told me I was connected, was:
<?php
require_once("config.php");
$dbcheck = mysql_connect("$dbhost", "$dbuname", "$dbpass");
if (!$dbcheck) {
die("<br><b>Connection Test Script was unable to connect to MySQL sever!");
}else{
echo "<b>Connection Test Script connected to your MySQL sever successfully!";
}
mysql_close($dbcheck);
?>
