Redirect Loop Bringing My Site Down

[bi11i]

In somewhat of a panic here - I can't seem to figure out the cause of this problem I'm having with redirect loops. Sometimes orders come in fine for days and then out of the blue they stop due to a redirect loop issue. I have to restart my server in order to fix this. Lately they're happening more and more often. I can't seem to figure out why.

I have no new mods or additions to my 1.3.9h site.

I'm using Simple SEO.

My configure.php is set to use www.phytoextractum.com

The redirect loop happens when switching to SSL or my account/login pages.

Happening across ALL browsers.

My SSL is a basic GoDaddy SSL cert.

My htaccess is:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

## Adding WWW to all requests:
ReWriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^phytoextractum.com [NC]
ReWriteRule ^(.*) http://www.phytoextractum.com$1 [R=301,L]

What could I be doing wrong? Any help at all is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

I'm not actually hosted at GoDaddy, I just have one of their SSL certs. I'm my own host with my own VPS. DNS is hosted on my end.

OK, hate me all you like, but with your own VPS and your own DNS, you *should* have the skills and knowledge to sort out simple redirect problems without our help.

Based on the information you've provided, this would be the first place I'd start looking.

one would think so, right? but apparently not since i'm asking for help. appreciate the info though, thanks.

what leads you to believe it's a simple seo problem? i'll take a look at the support thread and see what i can come up with, but i've had simple seo installed forever and never a problem. actually no changes have been made, really. stumped.

I have moved this question to here (http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...97#post1121097) as I've narrowed this down to what looks like an issue with Simple SEO (only resolvable by clearning SSU cache.)
