All - Has anyone configured dispatcher on Mac M1? I downloaded Apache dispatcher for Mac which is for x86 but when i am using it on Mac M1 i get following error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 185 of /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/conf.d/dispatcher-pub.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_dispatcher.so into server: dlopen(/opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/modules/mod_dispatcher.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/opt/homebrew/opt/httpd/modules/mod_dispatcher.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture\n\t/opt/homebrew/Cellar/httpd/2.4.49/modules/mod_dispatcher.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

 

Any help with be appreciated

You need an ARM binary of the dispatcher, and I am not sure if it already exists. I would recommend to raise a support ticket for that.

 

You could use a x86-64 version of the httpd, which would work with the existing dispatcher; in this case it would use Rosetta. Not sure how good this works.

 

Another approach: Adobe ships a docker image of httpd + dispatcher module for AEM as a Cloud Service, which you could use. Docker Desktop for MacOS/ARM supports multi-arch, and there this package should be able to run. See https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/apple-silicon/

    Hi,

    Could you please try using Docker from Adobe to setup and run dispatcher in Macbook, if this works.

    please check Dispatcher section at http://aemlab.blogspot.com/2020/09/aemaacs-setup.html

        I was able to finally run dispatcher on Mac M1. There are several articles online on creating docker image for dispatcher. Follow anyone of them. Just remember while building/ running docker add this below param in the command: 

        --platform linux/amd64

        This is because of difference in architecture in M1 and so we need to create and run docker image for amd64 based architecture. Hope this helps!
