Strange Manager Behavior - Saving Configuration - Help

Just upgraded from 0.9.6.3 and when inside the manager editing/updating Tools -> Configuration then saving it is refreshing the page and changing the URL.

So, login to the manager at: http://www.domain.com/manager

Edit some configuration settings and click save, the settings save and the page refreshes to:

http://domain.com/manager

Which in turn just displays the login page again. My session is still active under www.domain.com/manager so I just type in the www. and I’m back but this is really super annoying - any idea on where/how to fix this issue?

I’ve tried simple things like clearing my cache/cookies from the browser, clearing the MODx cache, and even tried replacing all the manager files. Still experience the same thing regardless. Same behavior in all browsers too.

Hmmm... looking at the save_settings.processor code

I would think it should be using the same subdomain you are originally on. Most likely some kind of server settings to use domain.com by default.

So where should I look to try and fix? Note, this didn’t occur with the older version of Modx nor has the hosting environment changed..

Hello,

could you solve your problem already? I have the same problem.

I think I narrowed it down to a missing trailing "/".

My server-configuration is as follows:

The main domain is [tt]www.mydomain.de[/tt]. But as long as I am working on the website, I’m using an additional domain [tt]work.testserver.de[/tt]. For technical reasons, MODx is installed in a subdirectory called "content". The second domain "work.testserver.de" is redirected to that directory. The original domain will be redirected to that directory as soon as I will have finished my work. I have been using this configuration for some 20 websites now (using MODx 1.0.3 and older). And it always worked.

Today I have set up 2 new websites with the above settings, using MODx 1.0.4. And in both cases strange things happen:

If I now type "http://work.testserver.de/manager" without the trailing "/", I will be redirected to "http://www.mydomain.de/content/manager/". Okay, that is no problem at first. If I type "http://work.testserver.de/manager/" (including trailing slash), it works as expected.

I can work as usual. But if I save configurations in the manager, the manager tells me to wait until action is completed (don’t know the exact phrase, because I am using German language in the backend). And this is then the moment, where I would be redirected again to "http://www.mydomain.de/content/manager/".

MODx does not know of my "www.mydomain.de", so this MUST be a server configuration issue. But on the other hand, older versions of MODx (up to 1.0.3) did not behave like this. So this probably could be solved by adding a slash in the right place, couldn’t it?

I have been searching all relevant .htaccess files on my older web servers and on those two new ones. They are all just the default .htaccess files provided by MODx. I don’t know where to search on.

Please, I need some hint

Thank you very much in advance
