Subdomain (mobile) internal pages send a 404 error
Development and Programming
Hi guys,
I’ve searched on the forum but found little on this (quite a bit on mobile development, but nothing on this particular issue).
A client of mine has finally agreed to go mobile (still hasn’t agreed to upgrade his Expression Engine, though).
For particular reasons of budget and content we’ve decided to go with a dedicated mobile web instead of a responsive design, using the subdomain m.website.com
I followed this approach: http://erskinelabs.com/create-an-alternative-version-of-your-expressionengine-website/ And I’m using MX Mobile Device Detect plugin (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/mx-mobile-device-detect)
I’ve managed to make it work on the landing page…so www.website.com and m.website.com work properly, and deliver the information I want differently for each device.
However, when I go for internal pages, on the mobile subdomain I get a 404 error…I still reach the database (weblog info is still fetched), but for some reason the pages themselves are not fetched.
I’m trying anything I can, but haven’t been able to fix it this. Any pointers???
We’re running EE 1.6.8, Build20090723.
The path.php file has the following code….
<?php
// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO
// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files
$system_path = "/home/client/public_html/system/";
// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------
$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "http://m.website.com/";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative
$global_vars['version_dispositivo'] = 'movil';
$global_vars['media_url'] = 'http://www.website.com/img/';
?>Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have any URL re-writing occurring on the main (desktop) site that isn’t occurring (but should) on the mobile site?
Hi Erik,
I do have a redirect to keep both http://www. and http:// as one site and not two, plus the one to take out the index.php.
Here’s my .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^utm_medium
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?/site/index/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^utm_medium
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/catalogo/$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?/site/catalogo/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>But that shouldn’t give problems to trigger 404 errors, right? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for all the help =)
