Too many redirects

Help !

Fresh install, new website. MODX 1.4.5 - YAMS 1.2.0 RC7

When I go to the first page http://sub.domain.com/ -> redirect to http://sub.domain.com/fr/home.html -> redirect to http://sub.domain.com/ -> etc. (no ending)

If I go to an secondary page: http://sub.domain.com/presentation.html -> redirect to http://sub.domain.com/http://sub.domain.com/fr/presentation.html and display the default page (not the presentation.html).

Yes, http://sub.domain.com twice !!!!

My .htaccess file


I don't understand.

Heeeelp ! [ed. note: neoziox last edited this post 5 years, 8 months ago.]

Looks like there's a hidden iframe embeeded on the site. Judging from your MODX version it's likely that your site has fell victim to the recent XSS attacks.

I use Evo and not Revo.

Your error_page System Setting is probably set to the home page. If you create a real error page and point the error_page setting at it, it may prevent the infinite loop.

It won't solve your problem, though, which appears to be that http://sub.domain.com/fr/home.html is not being found and is returning a 404 error (which sends people to the error_page).

If the fr pages are in a different context, it's not enough just to redirect to them, you have to make sure the fr context is initialized in MODX. YAMS should be doing that, but it looks like it's not happening.

@BobRay
First, when I read your answer, I said to myself: Great! It's brilliant!
But, I set the [(error_page)] to another page id and… still not working! Infinite loop.

Plus, I'm not sure I understand your third paragraph. Can you tell me more?

I'm not sure my comment is relevant for Evo. If it is:

I think you're still bouncing because your error page is not being found either (make sure it's published).

When you make a new request, the index.php file is run. It contains this line:



That initializes the web context. After that, resources in other contexts basically don't exist and throw a 404 file-not-found error. MODX redirects to your error_page on any 404, so if the request is for a page in a different context, you're always going to your error page. If the error page is not found (again, because it's in a different context), you'll just go around in circles until the server stops you.

There are various ways around this with mult-language multi-context sites. I'm not sure which one YAMS uses, or even if YAMS uses multiple contexts (or even if Evo *has* multiple contexts). There are several multi-language solutions for MODX Revolution. The migxMultiLang extra seems to be very popular.

FYI, there is a newer version of YAMS than the one you have (which I believe had a number of problems):

https://modx.com/extras/package/yams

The version in your link is 1.1.9
Mine is 1.2

I don’t found the line inside the index.php file. Are you sure this is for Evo?

As I said, no it's probably not.

Thanks.
So, what’s wrong.

Have you tried installing the current version of YAMS? The RC in the one you have stands for "Release Candidate," so it's close to being a beta version.
