When moving a locally developed Joomla 1.7 site to a server results in the error '''''Infinite loop detected in JError in Joomla 1.7''''' there's something wrong with the configuration in configuration.php

First double check the following variables:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
public $dbtype = 'mysqli'; // if your server doesn't support mysqli, try 'mysql'
public $host = '[some host]';
public $user = '[some database user]';
public $password = '[some password]';
public $db = '[some database]';
public $dbprefix = '[someprefix_]';
public $log_path = '/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/tmp';
</syntaxhighlight>

To get detailed information about the error, edit on the server /libraries/joomla/error/error.php
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
public static function throwError(&$exception)
{
static $thrown = false;

// If thrown is hit again, we've come back to JError in the middle of throwing another JError, so die!
if ($thrown) {
// echo debug_print_backtrace();
jexit(JText::_('JLIB_ERROR_INFINITE_LOOP'));
}
</syntaxhighlight>

remove the //commenting tag and add the < pre > tags to get a readable output
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> // echo debug_print_backtrace();
</syntaxhighlight>
change to:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> print"<pre>";
echo debug_print_backtrace();
print"</pre>";
</syntaxhighlight>

		+	Now Joomla will show a more detailed error that might give you some clues of how to correct the settings in your configuration.php.
		+	Don't forget to switch off the detailed error reporting afterwards by commenting the ''echo debug_print_backtrace();''.
