[opencms-dev] Frontend login and direct edit

[Claus Priisholm]

It rings a bell... I had a similar problem with version 6. I did use the 
mod_jk rewrite setup, but I seem to recall that problem persisted when 
testing directly on tomcat (same port, but a different entry different 
from "default" in the sites-folder). I.e. both sites and the workplace 
editor used the same "base" url.

As I recall it there were some parts during direct edit that would try 
to look up stuff from /sites/default even though it everything was 
stored in the other site. I never found the actual problem though as it 
turned out the two sites were better of running as separate OpenCms 
instances (so each had their own /sites/default).

So no solution, but if you have Firefox I would suggest to install 
HttpFox and look at what is being requested - it sounds like one or more 
requests ends up on the wrong path. Also try the setup without the fancy 
front-end setup (as mentioned I recall that I still had the problem, but 
it was in version 6 so it could be that whatever caused the problem then 
has been fixed in 7, and it may be something entirely different bugging 
your setup)
