A strange "base href" result

Hi,
maybe somebody can help. I get a strange result when using the recommended
With friendly URLs on I get without FURLs it results in There’s no problem, as long as I don’t use Jasons FirstChildRedirect - Snippet (http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,1394.0.html) together with IE/Win or Safari/Mac and have FURLs on.

What can I do about this "80:1336"? Is this a webserver issue?

Check the W3C stuff on base tags, seems that closing the base tag is forbidden and that’s what we’ve been showing in our examples <base href="" /> instead of <base href=""> -- not sure if that has anything to do with your problem, as I’ve never seen anything like that, but it’s worth a try I suppose.

Are you using any other hacks?

Actually I don’t use the base tag, it’s only for the documentation of this strange behavior. In fact, if FURLs are turned off, redirection works. Turned on, it does not in IE and Safari.

And no, I’m not using any "hacks". Snippets only

Btw, has somebody else the FirstChildRedirect snippet in use? Would be nice to hear from you...

I do...I have some empty folders acting as category links, but I’m using a different snippet for the site’s site map. So I use the FirstChildRedirect for anybody that manages to find a live link to my category folders, and it’s working fine.

I will discuss the issue with my hosting provider. If we find the solution I will post it here. Maybe it helps somebody. Thank you for reply!

This is my problem:

With friendly URLs on I get

<base href="http://www.greenlabelspurchase.net:80:1336/" />

without FURLs it results in

<base href="http://www.greenlabelspurchase.net:80/" />

Okay, my hoster wrote me that every hosting package has it’s own apache - with a different portnumber. My portnumber is :1336. It seems that Modx adds the standard :80 port everytime in the [{site_url}] . Is there a way to disable this behavior? I need "<base href="http://www.greenlabelspurchase.net" />" instead of "<base href="http://www.greenlabelspurchase.net:80/" />"

This comes from the config.inc.php file in /manager/includes. You will probably need to modify lines 28 and 29; I’m not real sure what’s going on there, someone closer to the core could probably better advise you.

Thank you Susan, good advise. I think we’re very close to the solution. Seems that Modx replaces the serverport with standard :80, hm, but I’m a php beginner. Can somebody give me a hint?

Sounds like a very odd hosting configuration. Just hardcode the value of $site_url, replacing that logic which determines the value in order to solve for your situation -- seems like the server is fudging the actual port number.

Thank you both, Susan and Jason. Now it works. In /manager/includes/config.inc.php I disabled line 29 - and that’s it.
