I am getting an error:

“Invalid Page URI”

when trying to save an entry. This is what I have so far:

When I first create an entry, I go to the “Pages” tab and enter

Pages URI: credits
Template: main/page

it saves fine. However when I reopen the entry for editing, the pages URI now have slashes

Pages URI: /credits/

This is causing the error when I try to save.

This is how I resolved it:

go to
Admin › System Preferences › General Configuration

Before:
URL to the root directory of your site: /

After:
URL to the root directory of your site: http://domain.com/

Why does it cause the problem?

I think it’s supposed to be a full URL, not a path. I have a full URL http://example.com/ in there as well.

everything works fine if I have a relative path like “/” so I never noticed it before. It was just now that as I decided to use the pages module that I got an error.

I don’t always use a relative path. There are circumstances in which I do need a relative path. For example, this particular site needs to be accessed from 2 different domains, so having a relative path allows me to do that. Otherwise, links will redirect to one of the domains.

bkuberek:

The pages module is intended to be used with the proper full url to the site in the general config.  Unintended consequences (such as this) may arise by not using it.

link

ok. I agree that there must be a site url for many things to work. I have an idea and would love to hear your opinion.

Instead of setting the field to a URL such http://domain.com/

Have it accept a tag such as {http_host}.

The preferences class will then translate this to the current url.

This way we have the option to enter a desired URL or let the system figure that out.

bkuberek, please feel free to make the appropriate feature request. Since all Technical Support issues seem to have been resolved for now, I am going to mark this thread as “Resolved”. Please feel free to start a new one should you need further assistance.
