Do you set useDomainPrefices to true in the config/umbracoSettings.config?

<useDomainPrefixes>true</useDomainPrefixes>

yes I did already. I also change

<

add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="false" />

My Url is now like this

http://localhost/special-offers.aspx -> english

http://localhost/ar/special-offers.aspx -> arabic

But i'm getting an error when trying to access the arabic site. The error is An error occurred while processing your request.

I check  the umbracologs table and the event viewer but I can't see the actual error from there.

See my edited post above, did you try this too?

Hi Sherry

Hae you added the hostname in Umbraco? And have you added the hostnames in IIS and modified your hosts file to contain the sites as well?

/Jan

I already set umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath to false and I added the hostname in umbraco. but in IIS not yet because I can't add the localhost/ar hostname.

Hi Sherry

Don't you have access to the hosts file on your local machine? (You are developing locally, right?)

/Jan

I mean

<useDomainPrefixes>true</useDomainPrefixes>

in the config/umbracoSettings.config

@calvin - yes, I changed it already.

@jan - I'm getting an error when adding this host header name in the default website http://localhost/ar

i'm using iis 6.0 in our server I can easily set it up but with my local i'm not sure why i'm getting an error. It doesn't allow to use "/".

i'm getting this error even if I setup the hostname in the server. I even try republish the site.

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://208.75.250.78/ar/special-offers.aspx

Hi Sherry,

I had the same issues.

I solved it by adding hostnames like this to my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.flexisle.en.local

Then I added this binding setting in IIS

www.flexisle.en.local

And in 'managing host names' in the Umbraco back office, I entered these settings:

www.flexisle.en.local

After that, the link www.flexisle.en.local worked on my local machine.

greetings,

Anthony

Anthony´s solution is the way to go when developing locally, #H5YR

what about when deploying to the server?

how can I set it up? I'm not really very familiar with this IIS binding.

in our server we want to host it temporary for testing as

http://208.75.250.78/default.aspx -> we don't want to use the en folder for the english site

http://208.75.250.78/ar/default.aspx -> for the arabic site.

What setup do I need to achieve this?

Anybody can help setting this up in the server? I've used anthony's advice to set it up in my local machine but for the server i'm still quite confused

Here's the setup that we want

Currently we are still using the http://208.75.250.78 address for florahospitality because we haven't launched it yet.

What we wanted is to setup the multilingual like this

For English Site

http://208.75.250.78                          -> This is for english home
http://208.75.250.78/dining.aspx   -> For other pages

For Arabic site

http://208.75.250.78/ar                             -> For arabic home
http://208.75.250.78/ar/dining.aspx      -> For other pages

We really need this setup asap.

Thanks.
