Hey Angus, I am having the same error as OP and I have attached my logs. Can you please have a look?

Welcome @Shubh_Bhalla 🙂
I’ve moved your post to a new topic as it’s not clear to me if there’s any connection with the [topic you posted in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sso-redirect-issues/216011/9).
Could you just confirm a few things for me:
1. Your issue presents as a redirect loop when attempting to use [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) with Discourse and Wordpress via the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin. Is that right? If it is, is [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) the [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) provider?
2. The log you’ve posted seems to be a backtrace from an exception in Discourse. Could you share the exception itself, i.e. not just the backtrace.
3. Assuming 1 is true, what logs do have in [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse)? Please see [WP Discourse logs](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wp-discourse-logging/190745) on how to access them.

Hey @angus . So, my discourse is hosted on an EC2 instance by following through [this tutorial](https://www.axelfernandes.com/how-to-configure-discourse-on-amazon-web-services-aws). What happens is when I try to access discourse.mydomain, i get redirect to discourse.mydomain/session/sso and then redirect to [https://mydomain/#/discourse/sso?sso=bm9uY2U9MTZlNjVmxNGY2M....mcmV0dXJuX3Nzb191cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkaXNjb3Vyc2UuYmlvLWNvbnZlcnNpb24ub3JnJTJGc2Vzc2lvbiUyRnNzb19sb2dpbg%3D%3D&sig=285c1ccdd0a9e18888....c5d32291880c759b](https://mydomain/#/discourse/sso?sso=bm9uY2U9MTZlNjVmxNGY2M....mcmV0dXJuX3Nzb191cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkaXNjb3Vyc2UuYmlvLWNvbnZlcnNpb24ub3JnJTJGc2Vzc2lvbiUyRnNzb19sb2dpbg%3D%3D&sig=285c1ccdd0a9e18888....c5d32291880c759b) which leads to mydomain
The error that it is giving me is -

Also it is super weird that this only happens when i clear cookies from discourse.mydomain . But this problem fixes itself when i try to login through [https://discourse.mydomain/u/admin-login](https://discourse.mydomain/u/admin-login) but comes again if we clear cookies for discourse

Your issue is most likely a misconfiguration of [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true). Please start from the beginning again and make sure you follow this guide closely. The details you’ve given a bit vague to give you more specific advice than that at this stage.

> The [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin lets you set up [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) in Wordpress so your users can use their Wordpress account to log into Discourse, or their Discourse account to log into Wordpress. Before you can set up [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) you first have to install the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin on Wordpress and Connect it to your Discourse.

This is happening because by clearing your cookies you are effectively logging yourself out.
