You should setup your site with each top level node as a diferent language. Don't make a language site a child of another language site :) If you make the UK-site the first node, Umbraco will uses www.hostheader.com as the UK site

By managing domains you can add the hostheaders.

But what if my hostheader is the same for all 3 sites?

If you use this structure you can access the site like this

Content
- UK => www.hostheader.com OR www.hostheader.com/uk
- USA => www.hosteader.com/usa
- Italy=> www.hostheader.com/italy

This is what you want to accomplish?

If you uses children you will have stuff like www.hostname.com/uk/italy ...

just use the 'manage hostnames' on the top nodes :)

Yeah - that's exactly what I want. I tried it and it didn't work but now it's working all of a sudden :) Thanks for your help!

Hi Thijs

I thought that this was working but unfortunately not. I'm just getting a 404 when I try to access the page. Any ideas?

Cheers

Make sure that in your umbracoSettings.config the following line is present:

<useDomainPrefixes>true</useDomainPrefixes>

Hope this fixes your problem,

Thijs

hmmm - still no luck

I'm sorry then I don't know what the problem is.. I hope someone else read this post and can help you further..

Thijs

Thanks for your help anyway!

Aha - fixed it. I needed to do the following:

• set umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath to false in web.config
• set umbracoUseDirectoryUrls to true to false in web.config
• set umbracoUrlName to 'usa'
• add host header www.hostheader.com to the UK
• add host header www.hostheader.com/usa to the USA site

Glad you fixed it :)

is working on a reply...
