Too many redirect on brand new project

[matepaiva]

Describe the bug I tried at least 3 times to create a hello world project using the quick start and the complete install and I always end up in a "too many redirects" when I go to / end get redirected to /wp/wp-admin/install.php.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. mkdir new-project && cd new-project
2. Create a composer.json with below:

   {
   "name": "gmazzap/wpstarter-simple-example",
   "description": "Example project for WordPress + Composer + WP Starter",
   "type": "project",
   "repositories": [
       {
           "type": "composer",
           "url": "https://wpackagist.org"
       }
   ],
   "require": {
       "wecodemore/wpstarter": "~2.0",
       "wpackagist-plugin/wp-super-cache": "*"
   },
   "config": {
       "vendor-dir": "wp-content/vendor"
   },
   "scripts": {
       "post-install-cmd": "WCM\\WPStarter\\Setup::run",
       "post-update-cmd": "WCM\\WPStarter\\Setup::run"
   },
   "extra": {
       "wordpress-install-dir": "wp"
   }
   }

3. Create a mysql database.
4. Create a .env with below:

   WORDPRESS_ENV=development
   DB_NAME=xxx
   DB_USER=xxx
   DB_PASSWORD=xxx

5. Start the project web server with wp server
6. Visit page http://localhost:8080
7. See error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

Expected behavior To get in wp admin install

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Version 19.10

Additional context Tried else with wpstarter^3.

This is because you need wp server --docroot=public - remember, your WP core files are not in project root.

I have the same problem and I'm not sure how @lkraav's answer will help (because I'm new to wordpress). I have tried wp server --docroot=public, which complains about a missing dir public and if I create it, the server responds with a 404 on /.

Edit: It seems that wp server --docroot=public is related to wpstarter version 3. That one seems to work, even tho there are other problems.

Closing this for lack of activiyt and it seems there's nothing to fic.

@pj035 v3 is what we support right now.
