Post by bdevogel » Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:19 pm

I've been trying everything there has been said about this subject but i finally found that is only works when i remove the prefix "www." from my domain name.

http://www.northafricatransport.com/nl/
-does not work

http://northafricatransport.com/en/
-does change the language

i've tried various .htaccess files/tricks, disabled and re-enabled the use SEO urls option.

Anyone any ideas?

What is the live site URL that you are using?

I also think that your settings are incorrect as I can see some menu modules overlapping.

Please follow tutorial:

[solved] The live site domain in configuration.php was set to northafricatrasport.com, so each time i open the website the language switcher redirected to http://{livesite}/en. So i solved it by changing the domain in configuration.php from http://northafricatransport.com to http://www.northafricatransport.com

Thnx for your help all.
