    Hi,

    I just set up a fresh copy of 2.1.3 with three contexts pointing to three top-level domains using the index.php file.

    The home pages come up fine on each domain with the right context, but my URLs for other resources are messed up.

    When I click preview, instead of getting http://www.domain1.com/resource.html, i get http://www.domain1.comresource.html/

    This gives me a 500 error, and typing in the correct URL does not work either. What is wrong?

    I cleared the site cache, and I have a trailing slash at the end of my site_url entry in each context.

    Thanks,

    -Dan

      Ok, I cleared my cache again, and now the URL is right, but I'm still getting the 500 error. FURLs are off for now. What is still wrong? Thanks.

      Here is my .htaccess file:

      # MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web
      # pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must
      # change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess.
      #
      # Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.
      # E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory.
      #
      # You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive
      # to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
      
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /public_html/mydomainfolder
      
      
      
      # Rewrite www.domain.com -> domain.com -- used with SEO Strict URLs plugin
      #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
      #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example-domain-please-change\.com [NC]
      #RewriteRule (.*) http://example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
      #
      # or for the opposite domain.com -> www.domain.com use the following
      # DO NOT USE BOTH
      #
      #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
      #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example-domain-please-change\.com [NC]
      #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
      
      
      
      # Rewrite secure requests properly to prevent SSL cert warnings, e.g. prevent 
      # https://www.domain.com when your cert only allows https://secure.domain.com
      #RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443
      #RewriteRule (.*) https://example-domain-please-change.com.com/$1 [R=301,L]
      
      
      
      # The Friendly URLs part
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
      
      
      
      # Make sure .htc files are served with the proper MIME type, which is critical
      # for XP SP2. Un-comment if your host allows htaccess MIME type overrides.
      
      #AddType text/x-component .htc
      
      
      
      # If your server is not already configured as such, the following directive
      # should be uncommented in order to set PHP's register_globals option to OFF.
      # This closes a major security hole that is abused by most XSS (cross-site
      # scripting) attacks. For more information: http://php.net/register_globals
      #
      # To verify that this option has been set to OFF, open the Manager and choose
      # Reports -> System Info and then click the phpinfo() link. Do a Find on Page
      # for "register_globals". The Local Value should be OFF. If the Master Value
      # is OFF then you do not need this directive here.
      #
      # IF REGISTER_GLOBALS DIRECTIVE CAUSES 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS :
      #
      # Your server does not allow PHP directives to be set via .htaccess. In that
      # case you must make this change in your php.ini file instead. If you are
      # using a commercial web host, contact the administrators for assistance in
      # doing this. Not all servers allow local php.ini files, and they should
      # include all PHP configurations (not just this one), or you will effectively
      # reset everything to PHP defaults. Consult www.php.net for more detailed
      # information about setting PHP directives.
      
      #php_flag register_globals Off

      #php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
      
      
      
      # The following directives stop screen flicker in IE on CSS rollovers. If
      # needed, un-comment the following rules. When they're in place, you may have
      # to do a force-refresh in order to see changes in your designs.

        It's possible that your host doesn't allow .htaccess files at all. Or doesn't allow mod_rewrite or has it disabled (and with FURLs off, you don't need an .htacces file and don't want the rewrite rules).

        Have you tried adding a slash to the end of the rewrite base line?

          I have used this host with previous versions of modx many times with FURLs on and had no trouble. I am certain it supports .htaccess.

          I did not try the slash at the end of the line yet.

          Thanks for the input.

            I still have not resolved this issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions about this?

            Thanks
