Hi luke,

The feature of multiligual sites is the most important reason why I use Exponential. I read almost all of the documents and forum concerned, and trying to configure a english site and a dutch site. It spent me two weeks but without success. Only the defualt english site is okay.

What I did with Exponential 3.6.0:

1) Run the installation wizard, selected English as a default language and choose Dutch as optional. The default site works.

2) Create settings/override/site.ini.append.php file:

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=en
SiteList[]=en
SiteList[]=nl

[SiteAccessSettings]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=nl
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en_admin
SiteAccessList[]=en
SiteAccessList[]=nl
SiteAccessList[]=en_admin
HostMatchMapItems[]
MatchOrder=uri
URIMatchType=element
URIMatchElement=1
URIMatchRegexp=^/([^/]+)/
URIMatchRegexpItem=1
DebugAccess=enabled

[RegionalSettings]
TextTranslation=enabled
TranslationCache=enabled

[ContentSettings]
TranslationList=eng-GB;dut-NL
ViewCaching=disabled

3) Create siteaccess folders for dutch site:
settings/siteaccess/nl

4) Copy all files under settings/siteaccess/en
to settings/siteaccess/nl

5) Setting RegionalSettins:

In settings/siteaccess/en/site.ini.append.php, I set:
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
HTTPLocale=en
ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB

In settings/siteaccess/nl/site.ini.append.php, I set:
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=dut-NL
HTTPLocale=nl
ContentObjectLocale=dut-NL

After this no problem if I access to default english site(www.myname.nl/index.php/en). But if browsing to dutch site(www.myname.nl/index.php/nl), I got the following debug output:

Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request

The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

Could you please tell me what's wrong for the settings? Or how to fix this problem? Thanks!
