So, I installed Joomla! 1.7.0 and upon going to the front or back ends I get an error: JError detected an infinite loop. It turns out that the full stable installation .zip file does not properly include the configuration.php file. The loop error is kind of erroneous. The problem was that there was not a connection to the database. I noticed that after following the instructions at http://docs.joomla.org/Infinite_loop_detected_in_JError_in_Joomla_1.7.
How I fixed it... Now, when I install a fresh load of J1.7 I grab the configuration.php out of the installation DIR after I run through the installation and I change the permissions for the file on the server to be writable. I still had to manually enter the database connection settings - MySQL username, password and database name. Now, I no longer have this issue.
By the way, at the end of the installation, installation will give you code to copy, so that you don't have to type in all of the required configuration information. Just create configuration.php and paste in the info.
