switchContext isn't working correctly?

Hi all,

I have 2 contexts, ’web’ for the dutch language and an ’english’ context. I have created a gateway plugin wich has a switch on the $modx->getOption(’http_host’);

I’m running PHP 5.2.14 and MySQL 5.0.91 and Apache 2.0

When I do $modx->switchContext(’english’); then the error log produces an error like "Could not load context: english".

I did some debugging but can’t find why he isn’t loading.

In access controls I have added the english context acces to the anonymous group with load, list and view policy and setupped the context with the settings base_url, site_url, http_host, cultureKey and site_start.. but that won’t make any difference

Could anyone tell what I could check to find the problem?

Regards, Bert

It gets crazier; In opera my ’english’ context is working as expected, no problems, but when I look at Firefox or Chrome I’m not able to view the context domain.

The manager also doesn’t work from time to time; I tried all pages in the manager, sometimes they work as expected but sometimes the don’t. Very strange things are going on!

Ps. updated PHP to 5.2.17 but no luck with that

Are you running the latest release of Revo, 2.1.3-pl? If so, make sure anonymous users have permission to "load" the context. The anonymous group should have an ACL for each Context with Load Only policy, but make sure the Administrator group has a policy assigned first (Object or Load, List and View policy perhaps) or you will not be able to load the Context in the manager.

Also, are these contexts implementing subfolders or subdomains or different domains?

Yes I’m running 2.1.3-pl
And yes; I have a subdomain linked (with a gateway plugin)

The weird is; I get an 404 error but you can see http://en.oostdesign.nl correctly! I don’t understand it...

After some debug I think it’s in the policy stuff but as I said; I don’t know :-(

If using subdomains, and you want to share the session across all subdomains, you’ll need to set session_cookie_domain to Please note the initial period which indicates that the session can be shared across all subdomains of mydomain.tld. Otherwise, each subdomain will have it’s own PHP session.

Did you verify that you have the proper ACLs setup for each context?

each subdomain may have his own session, no problem about that! I use subdomains for the multiple languages.. I have created a context, added settings as http_host, site_url, site_start, base_url and added the load policy for the member authority to the anonymous group.

The strange is that others can see it; http://en.oostdesign.nl/ but I can’t..

A friend has the same issue; alse created a new context and do the same settings but he also gets the error "page not found; The page you requested was not found.". This looks a MODx error, but I don’t have any idea what I did wrong
