directory name change and url - 500 error

Kristopher Maier asked on August 16, 2017 20:27

I am trying to figure out how I can forward a directory that has had a name change.

i.e. www.mydomain.com/chinese/basics.aspx to www.mydomain.com/zh/basics.aspx

My issue is that I am getting a 500 error with the old directory name.

thanks for any direction!

On the /zh/basics.aspx page add a URL alias with the /chinese/basics.aspx value to it. This will allow that URL to be available under the /zh directory.

I have that in place but I am still getting the error. It's very strange, my other translated sites are working as you described.

I changed the URL back to the "chinese" directory and even though under the General tab it shows the correct URL I still get a 500 error with "chinese" in the URL. When I switch back to "zh" it works fine.

Any idea what could be causing this?

I think this is down to Localization although I am a bit surprised as I would have thought Kentico would use zh-CN since Kentico uses a full culture code. Perhaps you have some other customization working with culture codes?

Since the error code is 500 is anything in the Kentico Event Log or IIS Event Log?
