Weird problem with custom language url's

Kirby 3 Issues šŸ›
1

Hi,

Iā€™m having this weird problem with multi language urlā€™s (so sitename.com vs sitename.be for example). Kirby always loads the default url no matter what I set up in the config or language files. Although on my localhost it works perfectly.

So when i visit sitename.be the url in the browser is sitename.be but Kirby detects it as sitename.com when I use url() and the $kirby->language() still gives the language from sitename.com instead of sitename.be.

I would think it has to do with the way the url gets passed in nginx but I also have laravel sites with a simular setup who donā€™t have any problem so itā€™s a combined kirby/forge problem, not sure.

Iā€™m using forge on linode (nginx + php-fpm) There wouldnā€™t be anybody with a simular problem wo would have an idea?

Cheers,
Sam

If I do an echo of Server::get(ā€˜HTTP_HOSTā€™) it comes out correctly, so it has to be deeper into Kirby that something goes wrong :thinking:

What is your Kirby version and is language detection enabled or not?

3.4, language detection is disabled. Hereā€™s a screen from some debugging.
Still in doubt if Iā€™m being an idiot and missing something easy or thereā€™s really something funky going on here :grimacing:

Could you please post your config file or files (if you are using multiple) and your language files?

Hm, that looks all good to me.

Is this a new issue with 3.4 that you did not encounter with the previous version?

8

Quite puzzled myself alsoā€¦ This is the first time I use this ā€˜featureā€™. Iā€™ve only worked with /nl /fr etcā€¦ in previous versions. Weird thing is that it does work on my localhost (the .int domains) so I honestly have no clue what the problem could be since the Server::get('http_host') comes through correctly.

I already have found a temporary solution. As suspected the problem is a combination of Kirby and nginx.

If I create a seperate vhost for the other language instead of an alias then it works ā€¦ Not sure why this is though. (other (as in laravel,ā€¦) sites donā€™t have this problem)

This was the configuration before the temporary solution. (with both domains as a server_name)

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name mijngeldenik.xxxx.be financesetmoi.xxxx.be;
    server_tokens off;
    root /home/forge/mijngeldenik.xxxx.be/;

    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/mijngeldenik.xxxx.be-error.log error;

    error_page 404 /index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;

        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {

This is the configuration after the temporary solution (seperate host per domain)

That would have been my next questionā€¦
