ModX 2.8.3-pl
Apache
PHP 7.3.12
XRouting - xrouting-1.4.1-pl
I have two directories.
apps. domain. com/site1/ - context: web
apps. domain. com/site2/ - context: site2
Each directory is for a different ‘looking’ site. The users know they are going to /site1/ or /site2/. There are different logins for both Contexts.
The application logic is stored in PHP and HTML files on the file system. I created ModX Chunks with the ‘Is Static’ checkbox checked and referencing the Static File on the file system.
There are duplicate ModX Resources in both Site1 and Site2 Context which point to the ModX Chunks with [[$ResourceApplicationContent]]
ModX and XRouting are at the top level for security to access the Resources.
For each directory, I have Resource Groups. Site1Admins, Site1Users, Site2Admins, Site2Users
When I first got everything setup, it worked perfectly with both contexts. Now that I am getting more users going to the /site2/ context, occasionally it quits working. It returns a 404 error when I try to access the apps. domain. com/site2/application.html
When I try to access apps. domain. com/site1/application.html, it continues to work.
This 404 error happened almost daily. To make it start working again, I would need to go to Manage → Clear Cache.
I thought maybe each Resource Group needed access to the /site2/ Context so I added that
Context: Site2 ‘Access Permissions’, I gave Site2Admins and Site2Users ‘User Groups’ - ‘Authority’ = 0, ‘Access Policy’ = Context
Adding the Resource Groups to the /site2/ Context keeps it working for a couple weeks, but then it starts to return a 404 error.
There is occasionally this error in the ModX log
[2022-04-07 08:15:12] (ERROR @ C:\directory\modx\core\model\modx\modresponse.class.php : 210) Attempted to redirect to an empty URL.
Does anyone know why ModX starts returning the 404 error and why clearing the cache fixes the error?
Thank you!
