I've been developing PHP sites for a while now using MAMP on my mac with no problems. This morning, I noticed the MAMP start page, from which you can access phpmyadmin (amongst other things), no longer loads in Firefox or Safari giving the warning message (Too Many Redirects occurred).
Bizzarely, the start page works fine in Chrome, and I can get to phpmyadmin fine. Also, all of my PHP sites still work fine, regardless of browser.
The apache error log gives me this message: [Mon Jan 07 13:25:37 2013] [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.DS_Store
I tried deleting the .ds_store file, but it had no effect. Can anybody suggest what may be causing the issue here, and how may I go about fixing it?
Thanks
Solved it.
It was caused by a conflicting cookie that had been set by a CMS I was using for another site, on localhost.
