I'm having problems with a wordpress site to enter the admin area.

If I enter with: http://www.example.com/wp-admin/

I get an infinite redirect loop but if I enter with:

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/index.php

it works

Need more details. Did you recently change something? Are you running apache? Fresh install? Sounds like a server configuration issue where index.php isn't being picked up by default. – chris
Yes... more details, have you by chance modified your .htaccess or functions.php file ? – Duncubuntu
Yes, we move site to root folder, in sub-folder its working fine and we are using apache – Navjot Singh
Have you changed site url and home url before moving the site? – Gunaseelan
No,I have not changed site url and home url – Navjot Singh

As /wp-admin/ have a infinite loop redirect but /wp-admin/index.php works we could solve it by adding

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-admin/$ /wp-admin/index.php [R=302,L]

in the .htaccess before the WP-rules.

However, this is not the best solution, it works.
