Question

We have four different environments – dev VMs, dev, QA and prod. All environments have the following setting for the “website” site:

<site name="website" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" 
rootPath="/sitecore/content" startItem="/home" database="master" 
domain="extranet" allowDebug="true" cacheHtml="false" 
htmlCacheSize="10MB" registryCacheSize="0" viewStateCacheSize="0" 
xslCacheSize="5MB" filteredItemsCacheSize="2MB" enablePreview="true" 
enableWebEdit="true" enableDebugger="true" 
disableClientData="false" loginPage="/" hostName="www.site.com" 
enableFallback="true" enforceVersionPresence="true"/>.

So on VM and prod, http://www.site.com/en/home/press and http://www.site.com/en/press work.

But on dev and QA, http://www.site.com/en/home/press works but http://www.site.com/en/press doesn’t work. (Works with startItem but gets a 404 without it).

This is happening with ISAPI enabled and disabled both (no exceptions).

I am not sure what is going on here or where else to look except to make sure that my start item is in good shape which it seems to be.

What can I do to resolve this? If you need more information please let me know.

Thanks

Try looking at the:

“linkManager” tag in the web.config, there is a property called:

languageEmbedding: asNeeded | always | never

which could be set differently on those solutiuons.
