Multiple Domains, Context Router, Can't get it to work....Help Please

Hello,

I hope you are having a great day.

I just followed the tutorial found here:

http://cmstricks.com/blog/2013/05/10/contextrouter-review

But can't get it to work.

I have my secondary domain parked so it points to my main directory where modx is installed..

Primary Domain
http://www.experiencewellspring.com/

Secondary Domain

http://www.HortonCountryHome.com

Context: house

Context Settings are as follows:

Base URL - base_url - http://www.HortonCountryHome.com
Error Page - error_page - 113
HTTP Host - http_host - hortoncountryhome.com
Site Name - site_name - House Site
Site Start - site_start - 108
Site URL - site_url - http://www.HortonCountryHome.com

any ideas?


Thanks!

If the experience domain is on the web context make sure you create the same context settings you did for the horton domain.

Clear your cache and post back your results.

Good luck.

Hi Jason,

For the secondary context try the base_url as a forward slash like this:


Also, try removing the captial letters from the domain names, that may cause a problem.

What version of MODX are you running? I'm running 2.2.10-pl.
I'm having the same issue. The primary context (web) still resolves but for the secondary I get the standard Apache "Default Website Page" page.

At the moment we're using 2 staging domains, both are setup as parked domains.

Context: web

Host - http_host: nr.s.itristan.com
Site Start - site_start: 1
Site URL - site_url: http://nr.s.itristan.com/

Context: take

Base URL - base_url: /
Host - http_host: ts.s.itristan.com
Site Start - site_start: 48
Site URL - site_url: http://ts.s.itristan.com/

Also tried it without a Base URL at all for the second context, a Base URL for both contexts, with / as a value as well as the full URL of each context as a value.

No luck yet. Did a DIG and confirmed the A record for both domains is pointing to the correct IP address.

Checked the error log. We had duplicated an existing context (the sites will be virtually the same) and discovered that some resources were missing aliases, probably because the aliases in the original contexts took from the name of the resource and had some slashes (i.e. /) in them.

We reset the aliases to proper aliases and when we visit the second context's URL we no longer get errors like this in the log:



However, we are getting this error:



In the System Settings for ContextRouter we have these:

contextrouter.defaultContext: web
contextrouter.includeWww: Yes (also tried No).

Don't see where there is an http_host definition conflict.

Guys you need to have the same Context Settings for both Contexts.

@rx2 Context take has a base_url setting the web one doesn't make sure all context have the same context settings with their proper values.

Make sure to clear your cache every time you make a Context Setting change in order for it to take effect.

Let me know if that works.

Afterward I changed the settings to ensure that I do have the same settings for both contexts. I always clear cache and even manually delete the cache files.

It turns out, but of course, that the parked domain was missing a letter and all works perfectly well now.

@rx2 Awesome it's always the little details that mess us up

Glad you got it working.

thank you all for the replies, but I still can't seem to get it to work. the secondary domain just points back to the primary domain.

Web Context:

Base URL - base_url - /
Error Page - error_page - 51
HTTP Host - http_host - experiencewellspring.com
Site Start - site_start - 1
Site URL - site_url - http://www.experiencewellspring.com/

House Context

Base URL - base_url - /
Error Page - error_page - 113
HTTP Host - http_host - hortoncountryhome.com
Site Start - site_start - 108
Site URL - site_url - http://www.hortoncountryhome.com/

any ideas?

Using MODX Revolution 2.2.6-pl (traditional) bye the way
