Grav adds domain at the end of the url path

[tibor]

Hi there,

I was trying to install grav cms on my webspace and found an odd behaviour: When I’m browsing to mydomain.com I get redirected to mydomain.com/mydomain.com – grav shows up, but (of cause) just with the 404 error page.

mydomain.com/admin works fine, so it doesn’t seems to be a .htaccess issue (I tried also to uncomment RewriteBase /, but with no effort). If you have any idea what this is caused by, I’d be happy to hear.

What version of Grav are you running? Also can you paste your current 'user/config/system.yaml' file? Did you make any modifications to the .htaccess ?

I’m using RC4 of Grav 1.0, my system.yaml looks like:

absolute_urls: false

home:
  alias: '/home'

pages:
  theme: antimatter
  markdown_extra: false
  process:
    markdown: true
    twig: false

cache:
  enabled: true
  check:
    method: file
  driver: auto
  prefix: 'g'

twig:
  cache: true
  debug: true
  auto_reload: true
  autoescape: false

assets:
  css_pipeline: false
  css_minify: true
  css_rewrite: true
  js_pipeline: false
  js_minify: true

errors:
  display: true
  log: true

debugger:
  enabled: false
  twig: true
  shutdown:
    close_connection: true

This is what my .htaccess looks like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
## Begin RewriteBase
# If you are getting 404 errors on subpages, you may have to uncomment the RewriteBase entry
# You should change the '/' to your appropriate subfolder. For example if you have
# your Grav install at the root of your site '/' should work, else it might be something
# along the lines of: RewriteBase /<your_sub_folder>
##

# RewriteBase /

## End - RewriteBase

## Begin - Exploits

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})

## End - Exploits

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
## End - Index

# Block all direct access to .md files:
RewriteRule \.md$ error [L]
# Block all direct access to files and folders beginning with a dot
RewriteRule (^\.|/\.) - [F]
# Block access to specific files in the root folder
RewriteRule ^(LICENSE|composer.lock|composer.json|nginx.conf|web.config)$ error [F]
## End - Security

</IfModule>

# Begin - Prevent Browsing and Set Default Resources

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
# End - Prevent Browsing and Set Default Resources

I had also versions of .htaccess with uncommented RewriteBase / running, but with no effort. When I’m pointing my browser to any post directly, everything works fine (e. g. mydomain.com/home displays the standard home-page); the homepage doesn’t.

I tried the above .htaccess & system.yaml but all is working fine.. what's your server setup?

[tibor]

Which information about the server setup would be helpful?

[flaviocopes]

Hosting name, PHP version, operating system, web server used

As this has not been added to in nearly 2 weeks, i'm going to close this issue.

Anyway, this is really not a Grav bug, but a server setup issue. If you want help on this please join us on our Gitter.im chat room and we'll be glad to help find a solution!

Cheers!
