Hi I just attempted to update EE to the latest version along with updating the multisite manager and I’ve run into a problem.

I have 6 sites running off one EE install. After updating the main site works fine however I can only access my 5 other sites home pages. The url of the inner page links appear correct, however when I click them it just takes me to the home page for that particular site.

When I initially set up the MSM, my host helped me configure it by setting up some .htaccess rules in the main directory.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www.)?myinnerdomain.com
ReWriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !myinnerdomain/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myinnerdomain/$1 [L]

and then in the index.php file for that innerdomain, I have added:

$assign_to_config['site_name'] = 'myinnerdomain';

this was all working fine, until the upgrade.

I’ll also note that I can access the inner pages fine if I add the name of the main url..

http://www.mydomain.com/myinnerdomain/index.php/about-us

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Seem to have got this working,

by going into the control panel >> general configuration for each site and removing index.php from the name of the sites index page (so it’s blank), it’s all working.

Any idea why this was required after the upgrade?

Hello mattias78,

Thank you for posting your question.

I am not sure why removing the index.php from the Control Panel caused things to work.

Are you removing your index.php in the .htaccess file?

I am glad to hear it working though, that’s awesome. Is there anything else I can help with?

Cheers,

this is the only code in the .htaccess file…

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www.)?myinnerdomain.com
ReWriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !myinnerdomain/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myinnerdomain/$1 [L]

is that removing the index.php from the url?

Hey mattias78,

Very odd. That rewrite rule is dealing with www in the URL.

What if you add this as well?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On

      # Removes index.php
      RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

      # If 404s, “No Input File” or every URL returns the same thing
      # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>

I still do not see why removing the index.php from that field would cause things to work. Something is still not right. I am glad it’s working, don’t get me wrong, but would love to know why.

Can you take a screen capture of the settings page for Admin->General Configuration?

Is there thing else that is acting up anywhere in the Control Panel?

Thanks,

So if I add this to the main .htaccess file…

# Removes index.php
      RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

      # If 404s, “No Input File” or every URL returns the same thing
      # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)

the main site works fine, however, if I visit a child site, for instance myinnerdomain.com/about_us it displays the parent page, but using the child pages url?

so it shows the content for mymaindomain.com/about_us but the url displays as myinnerdomain.com/about_us

tried to PM you screenshots, I’m getting an error telling me your inbox is full

Hi Mattias,

with the .htaccess file you’ll need to add it to the root of each of your sites for it to take affect in each of them. Please try that and then get back to us here.

You can attach screenshots to your post here - don’t use the quick reply button but instead use post reply and at the bottom of hte screen you’ll have a link to attach files.
