Babel not working properly on cloud?

I have used babel on multiple websites in the past, but this is the first one that I have tried using cloud. It only has two languages and uses the exact same .htaccess code as shown here:

I think that the rewrite rules here do not work on cloud... can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks,
Ben

Ok, I see now that cloud does not run on Apache and therefore will not read .htaccess... so I then went to a NGINX converter and got this as a result:

location / { rewrite ^/$ /en/ redirect; rewrite ^/$ /de/ redirect; if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/(en|de)/assets(.*)$ /assets$2 break; } if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/(en|de)?/?(.*)$ /index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 break; } }

It doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

What is it that doesn't work for you? Is it the paths for the assets or switching the contexts?

Well, the links to assets, all relative links, and switching contexts are not working.

Here is the link

Since I applied the above mentioned code in cloud, it now exports a file to save...

Could you undo the rewriterule for a moment, would love the see what code it generates

Ok, I deleted the NGINX code.

It just forwards to my home page with the wrong links written to all assets and links. The Babel plugin and gateway are at work here. I just need to know what rewrite rules I need to work with Babel.

By the way, thanks for looking at that!

The Apache rules are:
# The Friendly URLs part
# detect language when requesting the root (/)
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} !^de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ en/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ de/ [R=301,L]

# redirect all requests to /en/favicon.ico and /de/favicon.ico
# to /favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L,QSA]

# redirect all requests to /en/assets* and /de/assets* to /assets*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(en|de)/assets(.*)$ assets$2 [L,QSA]

# redirect all other requests to /en/* and /de/*
# to index.php and set the cultureKey parameter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|de)?/?(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]

A little test, could you try adding the following rule:



And then we'll see if that solves the assets redirect.

Thanks for this, Mathias,

I added the rule, but no change in the frontend. I also made a request to MODX for help. I will post what I find out from them. This would make for a great addition to the Babel docs. I'm sure that this will come up again...
