Problem with multilingual site settings

Thursday 28 July 2005 3:33:26 am

Can anyone can help about multilingual site settings with eZ publish 3.6? Thanks!

The feature of multiligual sites is the most important reason why I use eZ Publish. I read almost all of the documents and forum concerned, and trying to configure a english site and a dutch site. It spent me two weeks but without success. Only the defualt english site is okay.

What I did with eZ Publish 3.6.0:

1) Run the installation wizard, selected English as a default language and choose Dutch as optional. The default site works.

2) Create settings/override/site.ini.append.php file:

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=en
SiteList[]=en
SiteList[]=nl

[SiteAccessSettings]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=nl
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en_admin
SiteAccessList[]=en
SiteAccessList[]=nl
SiteAccessList[]=en_admin
HostMatchMapItems[]
MatchOrder=uri
URIMatchType=element
URIMatchElement=1
URIMatchRegexp=^/([^/]+)/
URIMatchRegexpItem=1
DebugAccess=enabled

[RegionalSettings]
TextTranslation=enabled
TranslationCache=enabled

[ContentSettings]
TranslationList=eng-GB;dut-NL
ViewCaching=disabled

3) Create siteaccess folders for dutch site:
settings/siteaccess/nl

4) Copy all files under settings/siteaccess/en
to settings/siteaccess/nl

5) Setting RegionalSettins:

In settings/siteaccess/en/site.ini.append.php, I set:
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
HTTPLocale=en
ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB

In settings/siteaccess/nl/site.ini.append.php, I set:
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=dut-NL
HTTPLocale=nl
ContentObjectLocale=dut-NL

After this no problem if I access to default english site(www.myname.nl/index.php/en). But if browsing to dutch site(www.myname.nl/index.php/nl), I got the following debug output:

Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request

The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

After setting Anonymous role to siteaccess with any(user login with No limitations) in my admin interface, the site www.myname.nl/index.php/nl still not accessed. There are the same errors as before.
