Before the website can be accessed virtual hosts must be configured for this environment.
On the Details tab of the tutorial environment, click on the Console button. This will open the Console application is a new browser tab.
Log in as admin and browse to the node /hst:myproject/hst:hosts. Thise is where the virtual hosts for the public-facing sites are configured.
The node hierarchy and properties are as follows:
/hst:myproject/hst:hosts: /dev-localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount
Add an hst:virtualhostgroup node called tutorial and create the following virtual host structure, replacing tutorial-mycloud with the subdomain name for the acceptance environment (shown in the URL bar of your browser):
/hst:myproject/hst:hosts: /dev-localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount /tutorial: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /cloud: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /bloomreach: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /tutorial-mycloud: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount hst:mountpoint: /hst:myproject/hst:sites/myhippoproject hst:scheme: https hst:showport: false hst:showcontextpath: true
Browse to the node /hst:platform/hst:hosts. Thise is where the virtual hosts for the preview sites in the Channel Manager are configured.
The node hierarchy and properties are as follows:
/hst:platform/hst:hosts: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhosts /dev-localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount hst:ismapped: false hst:namedpipeline: WebApplicationInvokingPipeline
Add an hst:virtualhostgroup node called tutorial and create the following virtual host structure, replacing tutorial-mycloud with the subdomain name for the acceptance environment (shown in the URL bar of your browser):
/hst:platform/hst:hosts: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhosts /dev-localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /localhost: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount hst:ismapped: false hst:namedpipeline: WebApplicationInvokingPipeline /tutorial: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhostgroup /cloud: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost hst:scheme: https hst:showcontextpath: true hst:showport: false /bloomreach: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /tutorial-mycloud: jcr:primaryType: hst:virtualhost /hst:root: jcr:primaryType: hst:mount hst:ismapped: false hst:namedpipeline: WebApplicationInvokingPipeline
Click on Write changes to the repository.
