While using tag like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

When we are on general Home (e.g. on 404) plugin replaces this line to

index.html xmlns="http:/www.w3.org/1999index.html">

so it become viewable on the top of page.

I think the problem is somewhere in unrigorous regexp in "multisite" plugin.

UPD:
I just localize the problem: this was happening when I haven't domain specific 404 page, so modx go to default 404 page (from settings) AND on the general 404 page TV "host" is not specified. So regexp bugging.

Hence the question follows that which domain would I set in TV in general pages?

So, I found the reason.
Then TV is blank, this regexp

$modx->documentOutput=preg_replace("#/?".$host_url.".html#i","index.html", $modx->documentOutput);

match <html> tag
You just need to escape "." like this

$modx->documentOutput=preg_replace("#/?".$host_url."\.html#i","index.html", $modx->documentOutput);

Ha! You can do it on local server where you can make 100 domains :-) Or, it also work with subdomains of 3rd level. Any what you want!

Thx! I corrected this in the tutorial. Wasn`t a problem for me since I don`t have a standard domain ;-)

@Andrey Nagikh: how would I do that? Edit the httpd.conf file directly? Or add a few lines to the HOSTS file (I'm on Windows XP using a regular WAMP install) ?
