Accessing AEM in publishing mode without localhost and configuring our own host

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

I am accessing the AEM in publishing mode by running the jar file - cq5-publish-p4503.jar

The url I am using to access AEM is - http://localhost:4503/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html

I want this to be configured as http://myowncontent.com/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html

How can this be acheived?

Regards,

Aditya Nayak

Generally recommendation is to use webserver with dispatcher so that you can cache the file & protect against security attacks(Harry updated with this feedback already). To have your own domain as abhinav recommended modify your host file.   

If this is for local development & don;t want to cache and like to use port 80 assuming you do not have any webserver running and port 80 is free.  Update the port to 80 at [1] OR rename jar file to "cq5-publish-p80.jar".   In case you want to block using localhost then configure "Host Name" at [1].    Becareful while modfying [1] it might run cq in different port if you misconfigure.

Hi Aditya,

You need to have a Webserver (Webserver URL : myOwnContent) . From here you can configure the Dispatcher to connect with your local system AEM .

See http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher.html for more details.

You can update the host file on your machine to point localhost to the domain you want tho use.
