500 : Internal Server Error Redirect loop detected

Hi,

I need help trying to determine the issue causing “500 : Internal Server Error
Redirect loop detected”.

Installed Anaconda on an Ubuntu Server VM. I’m able to use Jupyter notebooks on the host running the VM using SSH tunneling:

ssh -N -f -L localhost:8888:localhost:8888 administrator@127.0.0.1 -p 999

I installed JupyterHub using the administrator user (same as Anaconda). i generated a config but made no changes. I start JupyterHub:

jupyterhub --no-ssl -f jupyterhub_config.py

and tunnel using:

ssh -N -f -L localhost:8081:localhost:8081 administrator@127.0.0.1 -p 999

I am able to sign on to JuyterHub using the Ubuntu user “administrator”. The server appears to be starting but then I get:

“500 : Internal Server Error Redirect loop detected”.

The console follows. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi, can anyone help me with what kinds of issues might cause this or what this message means or what things I could check? Maybe I can debug it?
Thanks!

Port 8081 is used for the internal JupyterHub API. Can you try connecting on port 8000 instead?
