TYPO3 Preview not working - wrong URL

Question

I have problem with TYPO3 Previews. When i try to preview a page I get a 404 Error because the URL is wrong. Instead of

mydomain.com/typo3subfolder/index.php?id=10

the PreviewURL is

mydomain.com/typo3subfolder:2/index.php?id=10

I set the domain as BaseUrl and checked the Installtool but i cant find the error. Typo3 Version is 6.1.3. But it also didn't work with 6.0

Answer 1

It will not depend on the Version of TYPO3.

Did you set an domain record? If there is a domain record, that domain is used for preview. If there are more than once, the first in listview will be used. Check if there is a domain record "mydomain.com/typo3subfolder:2/". If yes, delete it.

Perhaps you have an RewriteRule in your .htaccess which has an typo in it...?

If there are HTTP redirects, you should be able to detect them via firebug (Firefox Plugin). Open Network Tab ans set "permanent". So, check if any http redirect takes effect.

Answer 2

Did you mean the Web>View Preview?

The common way to handle this issue would be through page tsconfig; in particular:

TCEMAIN.previewDomain = https://www.example.com/[subfolder]

This value also respects a given subfolder.
