Magento 1.9.3 index.php redirect loop

I am working on an E-Commerce website project which I created in localhost. It worked fine, until I moved it online.
Since I moved it online, I've had issues accessing the admin page and the index.php. I've managed to make the admin page work and can now access the backoffice without any issues, but my index.php still shows me an "error: too many redirects1" page.
What's happening?
Main page of my website is stuck in a redirecting loop (chrome error message : this url tried to redirect you too many times)
Everytime I reload the main page, the url switches between www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com (might be an htaccess issue?)
What I've done to try and solve the problem:
I have checked everything in core_config_data table to make sure
the right urls are written in web/secure/base_url and
web/unsecure/base_url. They are.
I have manually cleared the var/cache and var/session from my
FTP.
I have cleared all cookies / cache from Chrome / Firefox
I have reuploaded the files and database multiple times, thinking it might be due to a corrupted file from the upload.
I have tried to edit the htaccess, but it didn't change anything.
What should I do now ?
I feel like I've tried everything.
As it's my first time with magento, I'm sure it's some dumb thing I might not know about, but I've read nearly every single post about this kind of issues on this website and haven't found anything to resolve it.
So I'm asking you. I'm willing to try every single idea you throw at me, as I've been stuck on this issue for a while now ^^
Thanks for reading :)
Weird, It seems that You make everything right. Try to find and update all url settings in core_config_data: select * from core_config_data where path like '%url%'.
You can try update web/url/redirect_to_base config to 0 (if you have 1).
Remember to clear cache.

I have taken a joomla website offline, now I can't access either webmail,cpanel or administrator

I tried to take a Joomla website offline, so I made some changes in .htaccess. I tried this...
order deny,allow
deny from all
...but nothing happened at all.
Then I tried to turn the radio button (site offline) on in Joomla global settings and I put a message saying "the site is under maintenance".
Now the thing is, when users try to access the domain instead of showing my message it says the site is not available. It also happens when I try to access my webmail, cpanel, or administrator. It says "The server at domain.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed."
What happened?
There are some other users who need to reach their emails soon and it's a mess. I hope you can help me with this.
Revert the changes in your .htaccess file (and wait a bit), you are essentially denying anyone from accessing the website. They can't access the offline page if they can't access the website.
Note that there are some hosts that delay the loading of the .htaccess file (no idea why) and cache the old version for an hour or so, that's why you probably haven't seen any changes to your website when you made the change to your .htaccess file.

accessing a webpage stored on a home server

I am running a raspberry pi using raspbian linux. I have apache web service installed and when i type in my ip address into the address bar of a browser it loads the default apache webpage saying it all works.
I have another folder located in home/Client5 on this device from which i am trying to load an index.html page but i am recieving a 404 not found error. eg
192.304.0.22/home/Client5/index.html
Not Found
The requested URL /home/Client5/task5.html was not found on this server.
I gather that theres something wrong in the above web adress or is it that i have to place this folder within the apache folder?
You have two solutions.
1/ If you want to keep the default apache pages, add a virtualhost (there are tons of docs on this, I don't think it needs to be repeated here).
2/ If you don't care about the default apache pages, edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and change DocumentRoot to make it point to /home/Client5/ . Add an index.html file in there, hit the Raspberry IP in your browser, you should see your page.
You might need to chmod -R ugo+rwX /home/Client5.
I don't know what you have under /home/Client5, but if it's a regular user, this setup is highly insecure. There are a bunch of additional steps to take if you want to host under home directories (first step, don't put pages in $HOME but create a subdir). It is safer to have a dedicated place with proper perms outside home dirs unless you really know what you're doing.
Is it working in local ? (XXX.XXX.X.XX:80) ? Surely yes, so take a look at your router.
If you have apache2, you local ip indicate to folder '/var/www/'.
If you want host page in '/home/Client5' you have to make virtual host :)

IIS 404 Error even when file exists?

I have been working with IIS 7 for a while and it has worked fine until it just suddenly started throwing 404 errors for my multiple websites even though they actually exist. All of the configurations seems fine (path, default document) but not a single file, no matter the format or location will be loaded.
Another strange thing is that everything works when I try to access the websites via localhost or 127.0.0.1 but not through my external IP.
Does anyone know why this could happen and how I can fix it?
Edit:
It appears this 404 page is not the built in IIS error page. It is associated with nginx but I'm not sure where the file is located on my server or why my pages are being intercepted.
It turns at the server was hijacked by Morfeus F***ing Scanner, which I was not aware was even a thing until this happened. It's activity showed up in the server access logs. I basically had to reset the entire server. It was quite a chore.

Problems with .pdf-files in Joomla 1.6

I've installed a Joomla 1.6 template, and everything is working fine except 1 thing.
I have uploaded some .pdf-files somewhere in the file system and people who visit the site can view or download these pdf-files, but when I click on the link or trying to right-click and "Save as target" I get an error message like this:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/path/filename.pdf on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6
mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server
at website Port 80
I've logged in as administrator and checked if I found anything that denies access to files with .pdf extension, but all I found was that it seems like a .htaccess-file is being created in the same folder as the .pdf-files just after I'm trying to open them in my browser.
The content of the .htaccess file that is being created is this:
deny from all
I have also tried to edit this files content to "allow from all", and tried to delete it too, but Joomla is just changing it back.
Anyone know why or what that prevents me from viewing or downloading the pdf-files?
If it's a UNIX/Linux server you can FTP in with a client that shows permissions like FileZilla. It's probably the permissions associated with the parent folder cascading down to these files. Try to see if you can upload an image to the images folder and if you can save it the same way you're trying to save the PDFs. If downloading the image to your machine works, I would then look at the permissions settings. If you're not sure which permissions to look for, check out this: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html
Usually a client can download/view files with permissions of 644 or higher.
