Umbraco URL without domain prefix for the multisite setup - url

We have mutli site setup with "UseDomainPrefixes" set to true and have applied the hostname on the root level of each site but what is required is "Link to Document" to should be the url with-out the domain/hostname prefix. I was able to achieve this in umbraco4.0.2 but we recently upgrade to 4.8.0 and this upgrade has replaced all the links with domain prefix. Is there any way to achieve tihs in 4.8.0.
Site setup and url of a page in umbraco 4.0.2
Hence the link to document doesn't have the domain prefix set on it only for the first site even though "UseDomainPrefixes" set to true. i need to replicate exactly the same thing in 4.8.0 due to the way the site has been setup.
The same page in umbraco4.8.0
Please Help, Much Appreciated.
Thanks

Umbraco 7.4 URL Redirect Feature

Is there an available URL redirect for Umbraco 7.4? I mean I'm aware that there is a URL Redirect Management Tools in Umbraco 7.5 but we are using the lower version and it doesn't have that. Is there a way to achieve the same result? The scenario is this.
We created an web.com/about-us page. Now this is cached in google search now.
We then decided to change about-us to corporate now the cached version is still pointing to about-us where in fact the new URL now is web.com/corporate
How can I achieve a URL redirect? If someone manually typed or clicked on the cached url like about-us how can Umbraco 7.4 redirects it to the correct site? Would appreciate a step by step process if possible since I'm still new in Umbraco
you can use something like SEO Checker to manage this for you - there are also other plugins available that can do the redirection management.

As my first post has been hidden due to lack of detail, which is understandable, I am adding this new answer with more details.
We use UrlTracker for our projects - it is a nuget package that you install and then you can start using it. This can help.
The Url Tracker is used to manage URLs within umbraco and it automatically tracks URL changes, for instance when a node is renamed, this makes sure the old URL will redirect to the new location. Using this; you can also create your own redirects, based on a simple URL or using a Regex pattern. This is especially handy while migrating existing indexed URLs to your new website.
Please check this umbraco package web page for more details. Alternative links can be found below, hope this helps.

Joomla base URL incorrectly formulated

Somehow my Joomla after an upgrade from 3.4.7 to 3.4.8 is not formulating the base URL properly. The base is supposed to be "www.domain.com/en-us/" for the English version of the site. It renders the following as the base url "www.domain.comhttp://www.domain.com/en-us/www.domain.com/"
further rendering the following url for resources, such as for "green_leaf.png": "www.domain.comhttp://www.domain.com/en-us/www.domain.com/images/green_leaf.png". Consequently, the pages full missing page elements.
SEF is enabled. Multi Language Filter Plugin is enabled. Any ideas what could be the cause of this besides, the configuration and the htaccess files? Those file are pretty standard.
The first things I would confirm are
- in system > global configuration > site -- is URL rewriting set to yes and have you renamed htaccess to .htaccess?
- if yes then ftp to your site, open configuration.php in a text editor, locate the line setting the $live_site variable and change to
public $live_site = 'http://www.domain.com';
Good luck!
I have tried your suggestion, to specify the $live_site variable in the configuration.php file as you indicate, even though I have also been recommended to leave it empty. The results were the same, the issue remains.
Here is the latest on this matter:
I have created a local copy of the site on my machine from a backup that was still Joomla 3.4.7. The same issue appears. I have reverted back to an earlier backup with Joomla 3.4.6 version of the site, and the site's page was restored to normal. This is with the same exact .htaccess and configuration.php across the 3 Joomla versions.
I have also tried with "Options +FollowSymLinks" commented out in the .htaccess file that came with J3.4.8. On both the live hosted site and a locally hosted copy, same exact results, namely:
Using Google Chrome (with Language Filter Enabled and set to Remove URL Language Code)
On the live hosted site:
www.domain . comhttp://www.domain.com/www.domain.com/
On the localhost copy of the site: localhost/domainfolder/localhost/domainfolder/http://localhost/domainfolder/localhost/domainfolder/domainfolder
So this issue might be pertaining to Joomla versions 3.4.7 and 3.4.8. The challenge is that 3.4.6 also has critical security vulnerabilities.
Also tried with Language Filter Disabled - Same result (Base URL formulated as above) with the difference that all the languages are displayed at the same time on the home page with the resources that are not found because of the faulty base url.

URL Routes In IIS7 MVC 5 (Single Paged Application)

After publishing a MVC5 web application of mine to my IIS server (Individual User Accounts), it would seem that the URL is accessed incorrectly.
During debug, it would be e.g http://localhost:1234/api/Account/UserInfo?=XXXXX
The debug works just fine. The only issue kicks in after I've published it via my IIS7 server.
After publishing and using Google Chrome's console, it would appear that the page is requesting for a resource at mydomainname.com/api/Account/UserInfo?=XXXX instead of mydomainname.com/WEBAPPLICATIONNAME/api/Account/UserInfo?=XXXX.
My best guess is to modify the URLs in /Scripts/app/app.datamodel.js but it would just cause more parsing problems.
I've searched around and can't seem to find any related problems. I hope someone here will be able to lend a hand.
Look like you are using relative path like "/api/Account/UserInfo". Instead i'll recommend you to use #Url.Content("/api/Account/UserInfo"). This will solve your problem
Explanation
In local system when we run application in WebDev server it never have sub folder (like WEBAPPLICATIONNAME) therefore you relative path work correctly. but when you host your application in IIS under Default website in another new website /Virtual folder (like 'WEBAPPLICATIONNAME') then "/api/Account/UserInfo" fall back to Default Website because for '/' in starting. #Url.Content or #Url.Action make sure to add virtual directory name, hence changing your path to "/WEBAPPLICATIONNAME/api/Account/UserInfo" in IIS.

Create umbraco subdomain for an umbraco site

I am using umbraco 7.1.3.
My requirement is to create another sub-domain in main site dynamically as per user request.For example I have implemented umbraco cms for my site "ww.xyz.com" & I am updating content through umbraco login. Now I want to create sub-domains for different clients as per their request... like : "www.xyz.com/client1", "www.xyz.com/client2" and so on...
Now all sub-domain site should have it's own umbraco framework, so client-site (sub-domain owner) can login and update their information respectively.
To achieve this requirement I implemented following steps...
First I register a umbraco website in IIS and configure it, and that worked properly.
Then I register another umbraco website in IIS and configured it, and that also worked properly.
Now to implement sub-domain logic...
I simply copied 2nd website's folder in to first website folder. Then convert that folder to application through IIS.
As per my expectation this should work, As I have already done the same in asp.net and it worked.
But with umbraco I am facing issue like "Invalid key value".
I think the issue is related to some umbraco configuration, but I am not able to figure it out.
Thanks & Regards
A bit of an open door, but since I don't see it mentioned in any of the comments and it's a bit hidden away in Umbraco 8. Have you tried setting the urls in the Cultures and Hostnames section?
Note: you get to this by going to "Content", in the content tree right click on your homepage and now you get several extra options which are normally hidden away with also the very useful Hostname and Cultures option which allows you to support multiple urls.

Grails - Plugin view pages issue

I have a plugin with domain, controller and view pages. (Using grails 1.3.6)
I run the plugin as standalone, the views work fine. URL: http://localhost:8080/sample-plugin/gp/list. I am able to view the list page.
I installed the plugin into a main application i.e. plugin-test. Start as run-app within STS and browse to http://localhost:8080/plugin-test/gp/list. I am able to view the list page.
I bundle the application as war i.e. plugin-test.war and deploy to tomcat. When I browse to http://localhost:8181/plugin-test/gp/list I get a 404 error! I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have been trying to resolve it for quite sometime now and still no luck. The same main application works fine in STS but not in tomcat.
HTTP Status 404 - /plugin-test/WEB-INF/grails-app/views/gp/list.jsp
type Status report
message /plugin-test/WEB-INF/grails-app/views/gp/list.jsp
description The requested resource (/plugin-test/WEB-INF/grails-app/views/gp/list.jsp) is not available.
Please help.
Thank you.

This sounds worryingly familiar, as I spent a while figuring out this (or a very similar) issue. I ended up raising this Grails bug report:
Plugin layout not found in war when installed from BuildConfig.groovy
Have you installed the plugin as using the new BuidConfig dependency technique? The JIRA documents my workaround.
Sharing some of my lessons learned after experiencing the same exact issue (1.3.7):
Double check your HTML source to make sure that your template really isn't being included. Mine was being included, but my CSS/image URLs were wrong (only while running as a war)...so I wrongly assumed that my template wasn't there.
Don't use the ui performance tags for referencing your static content...doesn't appear to work, even if the plugin attribute is specified.
Don't name your layout main.gsp. You're guaranteed to have conflicts.
Don't use absolute=true on your g:resource tags. This doesn't appear to append the pluginContextPath to the absolute url, even if you specify dir="${pluginContextPath}"
Don't use pluginContextPath, as it's no longer required: http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/single.html#6.3%20Tag%20Libraries (search "Plugin Paths")
In your g:resource tags in your plugin layout, make sure you specify the plugin attribute. Set it to the name of your plugin.
Move your static images/css from your plugin to a web server. If each application using your plugin has its own copy, your users aren't going to benefit from caching when bouncing between apps.
Note that all of the above applies to the layout gsp in your plugin project, not your consuming application.
