Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? yes, read all related to htaccess and redirects
Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? all of them
Joomla! version: 2.5.9
PHP version: 5.3.23
MySQL version: 5.5.30
Host: www.mailborder.com
Admin Tools version: 2.5.3

Description of my issue:

I used the .htaccess maker to create a new .htaccess file. When I try to access Mijoshop's component on the admin backend, I get an internal server 500 too many redirects.

Bad URL: https://www.example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_mijoshop

This also includes any submenu items for this component.

I am going to submit a ticket with Mijoshop, but they are of course going to ask me if I submitted a ticket with you. I have checked other components and they do not exhibit the same behavior. Have you seen similar problems with this in the past? I saw one ticket related to Paypal payments and IPN's with htaccess, but no others.

Yes, that appears to have been the problem. These guys at Mijoshop do quirky crap with their code sometimes. I caught them once using hard-coded directory structures instead of JPATH on some items. I had to manually hack and provide them with the solution. Fortunately, they changed it in a future version.

Anyway, feel free to remove my domain from my first request and make the ticket public.
