Luciano: you're a genius! I fixed up my hosts file and things are
working perfectly now. 
Thanks!

I had a similar problem recently. I was testing my Horde setup by 
visiting http://localhost/horde. Chuck suggested it could be an 
authentication problem, which caused Firefox and Apache to enter a 
redirect loop. You can confirm this by watching the Apache access log 
while you wait for the response.

If you are having the redirect loop problem, in my case it was caused by

using cookie authentication while my server lacked a qualified host name

(Apache was complaining about it upon restart).

To fix the problem, I added a line like this to the etc/hosts file:

10.0.0.5 mymachine.localdomain mymachine

After restarting Apache, I was able to use Horde without problems by 
going to:

http://mymachine.localdomain/horde

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Luciano
