You might have a contributed or custom module that causes a redirect loop. Here’s a list of contributed modules that can cause this issue:

*   [Secure pages](https://www.drupal.org/project/securepages)
*   [Redirect](https://www.drupal.org/project/redirect)
*   [Global Redirect](https://www.drupal.org/project/globalredirect)
*   [simpleSAMLphp Authentication](https://www.drupal.org/project/simplesamlphp_auth)

Your `.htaccess` file might be configured in a way that is incompatible with Cloud IDE. See [redirecting visitor requests with the .htaccess file](/acquia-cloud-platform/redirecting-visitor-requests-htaccess-file "Redirecting visitor requests with the .htaccess file").
