    So I setup wordpress via option 22 with redis full page cache on a new server.
    Vhost is created using the ip of the server, because I want to make sure everything is working before pointing the domain name to the new server.

    I didn't make any change to any of the configuration files.

    From time to time, I will get infinite redirect loop when I try to access the site, and this problem goes away after I delete the redis cache via nginx helper plugin.

    Has anyone ran into similar issue before?

    non-https or https site ? and non-https to https redirecting ?

    Instead of IP, if you want to preview newdomain.com on new centminmod server without updating DNS, on Windows PC edit your windows HOSTS file at c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts (see guide at Modify your hosts file | Knowledge Center | Rackspace Hosting or install Hostman app HostsMan - abelhadigital.com which can manage the file too and allows easy dns flushing when you make changes to the hosts file.

    c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts contents to preview without DNS update
    Code:
    centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com
    to disable preview comment it out and flush dns for your system
    Code:
    #centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com
    Hostsman app to flush dns and edit the c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file

    it is a non-http site, and there is no redirect being set up at all.

    I will try this when I get home. The redirect only seems to happen after I made changes to the theme files, and I always flush the cache after I made the change.
