fintan sheehan	Thursday 21 September 2006 6:12:32 am Hello, I changed my settings/override/site.ini.append.php to below so http://mysite.degrees.com would point to what was previously http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site and http://admin.mysite.degrees.com would point to what was previously http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site_admin However http://mysite.degrees.com works ok but http://admin.mysite.degrees.com does not In fact http://admin.mysite.degrees.com is just bringing up same site as http://mysite.degrees.com so I cant access admin site. Is there anyway of clearing cache. I tried sh clearcache.sh --clear-all but it had no effect. [SiteAccessSettings] CheckValidity=false AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin MatchOrder=host HostMatchMapItems[]=mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site HostMatchMapItems[]=www.mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site_admin ForceVirtualHost=true HostMatchType=map RelatedSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site RelatedSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin httpd.conf settings are ServerAlias admin.mysite.degrees.com ServerAlias mysite.54degrees.com DocumentRoot /home/mysite/public_html ErrorLog /home/mysite/logs/error_log .. <Directory /home/mysite/public_html> Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> </VirtualHost> Any help appreciated. Even setting settings/override/site.ini.append.php back to [SiteAccessSettings] CheckValidity=false AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin MatchOrder=uri HostMatchMapItems[] RelatedSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site RelatedSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin would be progress if there was some way of clearing cache. Thanks
Tony Wood	Thursday 21 September 2006 9:28:37 am Hi This is a great question. You can clear cache using clearcache --clear-all from cli, but if you do not trust it for sometimes for permission reasons this does not work you can go into the project roo/var/[design]/cache and trash the directory tree. Be care not to delete the storage files as this is where eZ stores all you site files and images. I have done that before and you need a good backup :) I tend to tarball the entire vat directoy before I start playing around... just in case Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

fintan sheehan	Thursday 21 September 2006 10:45:59 am Thanks, I've progressed problem to below. If DefaultAccess=corporate_site in override/site.ini.append.php below then http://mysite.degrees.com and http://mysite.degrees.com both bring up what used to be http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site If DefaultAccess changed to corporate_site_admin below then http://mysite.degrees.com and http://mysite.degrees.com both bring up what used to be http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site_admin Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site/site.ini.append.php and Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site_admin/site.ini.append.php ? Below are changed I made to settings/override/site.ini.append.php Thanks Fintan [SiteSettings] DefaultAccess=corporate_site SiteList[]=corporate_site SiteList[]=corporate_site_admin [SiteAccessSettings] CheckValidity=false AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin MatchOrder=host HostMatchMapItems[]=mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site_admin ForceVirtualHost=true HostMatchType=map
Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 1:56:27 am Hello Fintan Sheehan This looks like the hostmatching does not take place at all. Are you sure that your virtual host is set up correctly. I have no clue about virtual host as I have never used it. In the article about hostmatching it is stated that nthe webserver must be configured correctly before the mapping will work (http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/concepts_and_basics/configuration/access_methods ) Depending on how good your PHP is I would also check the file access.php which seems to be responsible for matching site acesses to urls. maybe you can find out here what is actually going wrong. Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
fintan sheehan	Friday 22 September 2006 2:23:29 am Thanks Claudia, I think u are right. Hostmatching isnt happening. Both subdomains work ok so I think there may be a problem with access.php My <i>settings/override/site.ini.append.php</i> had [SiteSettings] DefaultAccess=corporate_site which meant default site was working for user and admin sites. When I removed DefaultAccess=corporate_site I was getting database error. It looks like <i>settings/siteaccess/corporate_site/site.ini.append.php</i> and <i>settings/siteaccess/corporate_site_admin/site.ini.append.php</i> are not being accessed at all as database connections are kept in both these files. When I put database stuff in <i>settings/override/site.ini.append.php</i> connection worked ok but hostmapping dosent. Regards, Fintan
Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 3:55:24 pm Hello Fintan Do you get any messages in the debug output which might be related to the problem? If not this looks like the all so exciting examination of the access.php is necessary. Unless someone else steps in and knows a bit more about what might be the problem... Fortunately the access.php is pretty well structured so you need to check only a few lines (almost at the beginning to check for the matchorder and then in the long switch check for the entry for 'map'). If you have any problems with doing that tell me and I'll try to help. Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
fintan sheehan	Friday 22 September 2006 11:22:54 pm Thanks Claudia, Im debugging access.php.I removed [SiteSettings] #DefaultAccess=corporate_site Currently can get admin site up but user site has a db connection error so will keep debugging. Thanks for your help, Fintan
fintan sheehan	Monday 25 September 2006 5:41:09 am Hi, solved problem in end. Spaces after host and corporate_site in site.ini.append.php below were causing problem. Neither index.php or access.php trims incomming variables. MatchOrder=host HostMatchMapItems[]=mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site_admin Thanks for your help, Fintan
Claudia Kosny	Monday 25 September 2006 9:23:04 am Congratulations - good to see that you solved this. Looking for spaces will now go on my internal debug list... Claudia
A Fowler	Thursday 04 June 2009 10:20:53 pm I am having the exact same problem described in this post, but I have double checked settings/override/site.ini.append.php for spaces at the end of the line and found none. Any other avenues to pursue to solve this?
A Fowler	Thursday 04 June 2009 10:33:38 pm I figured out what was wrong, also by putting some test output statements in access.php. Basically, I am using a non-standard port which is included in the URL. In access.php, the domain name PLUS the port is stored in $host, as "domain.com:port". This is compared against the first value in each of the HostMatchMapItems[]. I had to modify the HostMatchMapItems[] entries to include the port as well as the domain name. For example: MatchOrder=host HostMatchType=map HostMatchMapItems[]=mydomain.com:1234;mysite HostMatchMapItems[]=iphone.mydomain.com:1234;iphone HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mydomain.com:1234;mysite_admin
