    I've just set up a new site (currently using hosts file URL so cannot show anyone).

    All works well except for one page, the Suppliers page.

    If I click the nav link to this page it appears fine, eg:

    mysite.com/suppliers/


    But if I click any other links on this page I get a 404 as the URL says:

    mysite.com/suppliers/aboutus.html


    There is literally nothing different about this page except the alias, name and text content. Same menu level and template as all other pages.

    Of course I have tried clearing ModX and Browser caches to no effect. Changing the alias doesnt help either.

    Would anyone know what I can do?

    Thanks

      Is there maybe a rewrite rule in .htaccess that would affect this?

      Are you running Redirector?

        Usually resources that are containers (have children) have a file extension of /, so that by themselves they would be domain.com/menutitle/, while their children would be domain.com/menutitle/child.html

        Do you by any chance have a directory using the same name in your webroot, such as www/suppliers/?

          Thanks for the reply.

          No there is no file or directory called suppliers and its doesnt seem to make any difference if I change the alias to something else. However, this resource is a parent resource.

            No I'm not running Redirector.

            .htaccess just has the following:

            RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

              Let's back up. Do you have this tag in the head section of all templates?

              <base href="[[++site_url]]" />


              If you have multiple front-end contexts, it should be:

              <base href="[[!++site_url]]" />
