Lang switcher does not work

vot

fengshui-123 reported an interesting bug in a new X2ML installation:
http://www.discuz.net/forum.php? ... ;page=7#pid23144608

Thanks Vot.

I have done the changes you suggested but still the same: blank page whenever I change the language.

I use FireFox and IE8, both show the same thing(blank), but I have no problem for yout test site: http://codersclub.org/discuzx/forum.php
One thing big different I notice, for your test site whenever I change langnguage the site address always show the same address:http://codersclub.org/discuzx/forum.php.
But for my site, it show different address, for examples:
http://localhost/dx2world/forum.php?language=en
http://localhost/dx2world/forum.php?language=zh
http://localhost/dx2world/forum.php?language=de


my discuz_version.php file attached below.
Actually my version of discuz is downloaded from your google code site.

I think, the problem may occure because of this possible reasons:

1) Very high security level in a browser
2) Browser used it's local cache instead of reloading a page (It is usual IE problem)
3) Syntax error in language files.

Thanks Vot.

I use the same browser on your site without problem.
I also downloaded and installed the international version of discuz.

maybe xampp server installed on my windows-xp pc got problem, so I will try to install on an internet web hosting  site to see whether the problem still exist or not. will report the case later.

fengshui-123,
when you are using FireFox, try the next:
1) Download and install this FF extension: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/
2) Load your X2 in browser
3) Open the Live HttpHeaders in a separate window, clean the window content
4) Try to change language in X2
5) See what happens in the http-headers window!

Copy the Code

Hi Vot,

I found the problem!
The installation program generated ANSI encoding config_global.php.
And when I cut and paste the config_global.php code into the config_global_default.php (which is in UTF-8) and then I saved it as config_global.php which is now in UTF-8!.

After converting it to ANSI, now it work!  Another word, UTF-8 encoding's config_global.php does not work on my xampp webserver?

vot

below I attach the LiveHTTPHeader when I change language:

I see a problem here:
There is NO the second redirection, again to "http://localhost/dx2world/forum.php".

I found the problem!
The installation program generated ANSI encoding config_global.php.

You are wrong.
The installation program do nothing with a encoding!
But the problem is here:

when I cut and paste the config_global.php code into the config_global_default.php

It is your editor changed the encoding!!!
Recommendations:
1) Use only editor that supports UTF-8 (i.e. Notepad++).
2) Force "UTF-8 without BOM" encoding before viewing/editing!
3) Remove all the BOM (it is UTF-8 starting tag) from any file (if encountered).

Hi Vot, Thank you very much.

After going through the series of replies here I think it is better to sum up what cause my problem below:

The blank page is caused by cutting portion of code from UTF-8 config_global_default.php file and paste it in ANSI config_global.php file.

To avoid the problem, I first convert the UTF-8 file to ANSI file, then cut and paste the code between the files.  Or you can also convert the ANSI file to UTF-8 file, then cut and paste between the files.

NotePad++ editor has a function to convert file to some common encodings.
