[Mediawiki-l] Re: infinite redirects

Group - any ideas on this? This is what I'm getting back from support at 
vortech. Anyone know a work around for this? Again this is happening to all 
1.4 and 1.5(rc4) mediawiki installations on their servers.

Hello Ben,

yes we had a php Change on the system. It now runs kinda as a module nad 
kinda as a CGI.
We know the only thing that changed was our way to handle PHP so let's debug 
and see why we cannot
get it right yet.

This is what the server is replying.. Does it make any sense to you?
