Routing not done in controller redirect Symfony2 - dynamic routing

Question

here is the context of the question: I want to build a multi-site installation of Symfony2. Having on one side the admin and the content types which are common for every site but a differenciation of the templates for each site

Hence, I would need routing specific per site visited. Let's say we have 2 sites sub1.site.com & sub2.site.com, for the same pattern '/' I would like to be able to route differently the request for each subsite.

1st solution tested: use the 'host' of the routing system as in here (Host routing in Symfony). Implemented like that it didn't worked

routingFirstSite:
    resource: "@BundleName/Resources/config/routing1.yml"
    host: "sub1.site.com"
    prefix: /

routingSecondSite:
    resource: "@BundleName/Resources/config/routing2.yml"
    host: "sub2.site.com"
    prefix: /                             ==>*(added after 1st comment)

==> This solution doesn't work, it loads the second regarless of the host used...

2nd solution put in place : use a dynamic routing upon listening to the kernel.request event as in the following solution : Symfony custom/dynamic router.

It works perfectly. I then put included directly the routing of the admin into the routing.yml file and have the "sites" routing loaded up dynamically.

BUT

upon the submit of any form to create/edit/delete any content in the site, the admin controller have the following return which is giving an error 500 (can't find the route 'index')

return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('index'));

(needless to say that the 'index' route is defined in all of the sub_routing.yml files for all sites).

to understand what was in the request to be sure that I was properly arriving, I modified to the following:

var_dump($this->getRequest()->attributes->all());
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('index'));

And by miracle this is working, I'm redirected to the index of the site!

My question is then : What's the mechanism at stake here? Why is it not working in the first place and well in the second? What should I do to have it working in the first situation?

thanks a lot for your time,

your first solution should work fine, maybe it´s because you missed the prefix in routingSecondSite — john Smith

Hi, thanks but it's an error of copy-paste as the prefix argument existed in my routing.yml file... (I've updated the question) — Yannick

in my project i always added a requirement to match host like this :

and i use a variable and a parameter in parameters.yml eg %your_host%

routingFirstSite:
    resource: "@BundleName/Resources/config/routing1.yml"
    prefix:   /
    host: "{your_host}"
    requirements:
        your_host: %your_host%


routingFirstSite:
    resource: "@BundleName/Resources/config/routing2.yml"
    prefix:   /
    host: "{your_second_host}"
    requirements:
        your_second_host: %your_second_host%

and in parameters.yml you have like:

your_host: sub1.site.com
your_second_host: sub2.site.com

without quotes you should give it a try, hould work, if not pls tell which symfony2 version youre running

Thanks. I've just tried it and after a clear of the cache, it's unfortunately not working. I'm working on Symfony 2.5.7

Hello, this all situation seems weird... Is there maybe another setting I've forgotten to put somewhere other than in the routing.yml? (I've tried with and without quotes)
