I have created a default app using yiic and configured apache to run this app on port 8088. So my contact form url (working) looks like this: http://127.0.0.1:8088/site/contact.htm. But when I fill this form and press ‘submit’, it redirects me to http://127.0.0.1/site/contact.htm (discards the port) which obviously doesn’t work because there’s nothing running on port 80 on my machine. If I manually add port number to the url, it successfully displays a flash message “thanks for contacting us”.
Could you please show the view code and the generated HTML code (mainly about the form tag part)?
I didn't change a bit in the generated app - it is all default, except few tweaks of urlManager component:
'urlManager'=>array( 'urlFormat'=>'path', 'showScriptName'=>false, 'urlSuffix'=>'.htm', ),
I need to see the generated HTML code.
Here is the latest entry in the apache access log:
Quote
127.0.0.1 - - [02/Feb/2009:13:44:54 -0800] “POST /site/contact.htm HTTP/1.1” 302 -
So it looks like it does redirect to url which doesn't exist.
Here's the source code of contacts page (really, it's default code, you can see it yourself after running yiic):

It looks fine to me. The form action URL is correct which is a relative URL, meaning using the current host info (including host name and port number).
I also couldn't reproduce the issue. Maybe you should check you .htaccess or Web server setup?
.htaccess was copied from yii guide:
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
Apache was configured with virtual host for this app:
Listen 8088 NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8088 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8088> ServerName www.myservername.com DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache/htdocs/MyTestApp" </VirtualHost>
What else can I check? Everything works absolutely fine if I change 8088 to 80 and restart Apache. But when I change port back, it stops working with the behavior I described. So between two states (working vs non-working) the only difference is port number (80 vs 8088). All other configuration stays the same.
The problem appears to be with CHttpRequest::redirect which redirects to "http://127.0.0.1/site/contact.htm" instead of "http://127.0.0.1:8088/site/contact.htm".
You wouldn't believe that, but here are two $_SERVER variables:
_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] = 127.0.0.1:8088 _SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] = 80
Since CHttpRequest uses SERVER_PORT variable, it redirects to the wrong url. Looks like a bug in Apache or PHP?
I have added the following code to CHttpRequest::getHostInfo method after $port assignment:
if (count($segs) == 2 && $port != $segs[1]) $port = $segs[1];
Could you please apply this patch to Yii?
I see. Thanks. Fixed.
