Configuring Dispatcher on Local using Docker Image for AEM Redirects

[Rohan_Garg]

Hi All,

I have 2 websites hosted on same AEM Instance.

I have written vhosts and farm files for them respectively and also added redirect rules in vhost.

sample.brandA virtual host should go to /content/a

sample.brandB virtual host should go to /content/b

My dispatcher instance is successfully pointing to Publish as verified by running the docker image.

I have also modified my local machine's host file to redirect both the virtual hosts to dispatcher

127.0.0.1:8080 sample.brandA
127.0.0.1:8080 sample.brandB

However, the site can't be reached persists. Is there anything I am missing ?

Do we need to run dispatcher locally on Windows IIS to have this run successfully ?

Hi All,

Please ignore this question now.

The issue was in my windows local host file where I mentioned the hostname and port. 

Removing the port from host file and entering it manually in format "sample.brandA:8080" worked.

Thanks,
