Magento admin URL redirecting to index.php/admin, resulting in redirect loop

Question

If I enter URL

https://server.com/admin

It ends up redirecting to:

https://server.com/index.php/admin

and I end up with "This webpage has a redirect loop".

a) Is this redirect url correct? Doesn't look to be valid.
b) Where do I correct it?

My base url in core_config_data is "server.com". is that correct? — bart2puck, Jun 26, 2015 at 17:22
Did you made any changes to your .htaccess? How does your vhost files look like? — lloiacono, Jun 26, 2015 at 18:13
I think this is normal with magento. Are you saying you cannot login to the admin because of this change url? — Adarsh Khatri, Jun 27, 2015 at 3:34

/index.php/admin is normal and should work. Check your Magento .htaccess in root. Mostly you have to set the web root.

############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

    RewriteBase /

Your Base URL should be http://...

Your secure Base URL should be https://...

I only had trouble with RewriteBase and you usually don't need it. RewriteBase / is redundant as far as I understand it.

Which kind of trouble? Did you test it?

"the rewrite rules don't work" kind of trouble. I don't know which exact setup causes it but I had to remove this line more than once to fix the rewrites.
