Hi,

What is the issue?
====================
I have a "too_many_redicts" errors consistentently across computers and browsers when trying to access the web applications (RoundCube, SOGo, etc.) on my on-site email server from a web browser.

I tried all the suggested advice in this post, no luck so far. So I would like to ask for some help here. Thanks in advance!

Details of the intranet and the iRedMail server
==================================================
(1) The front-end server on the intranet (hostname: reverseproxy.company.com): 
        (1) CentOS 7 + Nginx reverse proxy configuration
        (2) letsencrypt SSL certificates were applied to the host
        (3) pass the visit to the upstream server for iRedMail.

(2) The upstream iRedMail server on the intranet (hostname: mx.company.com)
        (1) it is a proxy server sitting behind the front-end server
        (2) a clean host and a fresh instaltion of iRedMail 0.9.8 by following the instruction on this post https://docs.iredmail.org/install.iredmail.on.rhel.html
        (3) the index.html file content under /var/www/html/

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=/mail/">
</head>
</html>

(3) The public MX records for the email server  ( domain name: mail.company.com) was set up and works fine
       

Post-installation tests
==================================================

   
    URLs                                                           Results    ========================================================================================================
    http://mx.company.com                                             redirect to http://mx.insightical.com/mail;  success
    http://internal_ip_address of the email server/          redirect to http://ip_address/mail; success
 
    https://mail.company.com                                          "Too_Many_Redirect" error
   
    Note:
    (1) the above testing resutls are consistent across different computers and different browswers

Check the document root of your web host. make sure the "index.html" or "index.php" doesn't redirect to another URL.

An update on this issue
====================
The solution to my case is here: https://www.thesudoer.com/?p=264

Also, I tried both HAProxy and Nginx for reverse proxy. Both worked just fine with iRedMail 0.9.8.
