We have a fresh install of EE 1.6.2 build 20080206 on an EngineHosting account that won’t behave. Installed MSM and configured according to the docs. Attempts to view the secondary site result in random redirects to the primary site.

2 sites: westender (primary) & mondaymag (secondary). Path.php (and index.php) exists in secondary site’s root folder and includes these lines:

$site_url = "http://www.weekinthereview.com";
$site_name = "mondaymag";
$site_index = "index";

(note temp URL in $site_url)

Path.php for primary site exists in EE root and contains the following:

$site_url = "http://www.kingstonview.org";
$site_name = "westender";
$site_index = "index";

$site_name in both match site short names.

Following information found in previous forum threads, we refreshed the build today and cleared caches with no luck.

It appears that others have run into something similar before but their fixes don’t apply here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Seth, you say it is intermittent. But you have other issues.

First of all, your path.php in the primary domain shouldn’t need all the extra stuff you put in it.

Can you remove those settings except for the path to the system directory and bring up the kingstonview.org site again so that works without worrying about the secondary domain right this second.

Sue,

Done. The intermittent problem with the secondary domain was happening before I updated path.php for the primary, though. And, now that I restored the primary’s path.php, it is still having problems displaying the correct site index.

Thank you.

I see that. Let’s get the .htaccess and index.php stuff fixed first, then go from there.

I’ve reset $site_index to read:

$site_index = "index.php";

No change to site behavior.
