There is a note in the phar.txt file that some hosts can give a "redirected too many times" error on the installation of 2.2.2, and that this is caused by being unable to properly handle phar.
I am experiencing this with the host 1and1.fr - I wondered if anyone else has a problem with this web server, or should I look for another answer?
Also, it seems that there is no longer a "traditional installation", only the phar method. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?
Thanks

Re: "redirected too many times" error on installation of 2.2
From the README included with the installation assistant:
Q: I Get a redirection loop, what can I do?
A: Some hosting environments (nginx, and litespeed) particularly can cause redirection loops when executing even the simplest of phar archives. This is due to one or more bugs in php. Specifically: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71465 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67587 (though more may exist). For these environments we recommend that you use the expanded installer. Be sure you read it's README file in it's entirety.

Re: "redirected too many times" error on installation of 2.2
Yes, I read that (it is the note in the phar.txt I referred to).
But a post of yours I found on the forum says that for the current version only the phar method is supported, and I have not been able to find the expanded installer.

The expanded installer is at https://www.cmsmadesimple.org/downloads-header/cmsms/
look under the 'other packages' heading.
