ZF2 error 404 when child_routes - php

Question

This is my last chance. I tried loooking for answers, but seriously, I can't see what I'm doing wrong...
I'm trying to set up a multi-domain on a website.
Everything is working fine when using literal routes.
When adding the other domain with Hostname route, still OK.
But when adding child_routes to that Hostname route, the parent route shoots a 404.
Here's my module.config :
'resources' => $resources,
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'example.com' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Hostname',
'options' => array(
'route' => '[:subdomain.]:domain.:tld', // domain levels from right to left
'contraints' => array(
'subdomain' => 'www',
'domain' => 'example',
'tld' => 'com',
),
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'itdoc',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'customCatalog2' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/custom-catalog',
'defaults' => array(
'action' => 'customCatalog',
),
),
),
When accessing http://example.com, I'm getting a 404.
But the child route works fine (http://example.com/custom-catalog)
But if I comment out the child_routes (and may_terminate), I can access the root domain
Do you have any clue of what is wrong with my code ?
Thanks !!!

Answer 1

I test your code and in fact this is weird, but after some test and read the docs here is what i Found.
This documentaiton help
^
I looked forward to this component and found in the docs this :
'packages.zendframework.com' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Hostname',
'options' => array(
'route' => ':4th.[:3rd.]:2nd.:1st', // domain levels from right to left
'contraints' => array(
'4th' => 'packages',
'3rd' => '.*?', // optional 3rd level domain such as .ci, .dev or .test
'2nd' => 'zendframework',
'1st' => 'com',
),
// Purposely omit default controller and action
// to let the child routes control the route match
),
// child route controllers may span multiple modules as desired
'child_routes' => array(
'index' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Package\Controller\Index',
'action' = > 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
),
),
),
As you can see, they have child route but the first route declared is the route match this pattern : '/', this is your main route you have to declare this equal to your code below :
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'itdoc',
),
After that, your main route is correct and you can continue with other child route, just the hostname is not the actual main route '/'.
