Hi All,

My publish instance on the cloud is giving the below result for every URL -

Response - <html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>

The favicon as you see is correctly loaded but the rest of the result is not.

The page "It works!" is as far as I know Apache Webserver's response.

However, when hitting from dispatcher the page us rendering correctly!

The Author's URL with query string ?wcmmmode=disabled is also generating the full page content.

What could be the reason for publish's behavior ?

When hitting from dispatcher here are the logs for the same -

Request URL - https://domainA.com/content/brandA/us/en/home.html?rohangarg=trueAgain123456?

Hi All,

The publish domain https://publish-pyyyyyy-ezzzzzz.adobeaemcloud.com/ if not handled by default.vhost is handled by the catch-all vhost in dispatcher_vhost.conf which redirects the to index web page in apache.

In the cloud deployment build log, if we check the Build Image Log -

/tmp/dispatcher/unzippedConfiguration/conf.dispatcher.d/enabled_farms/default.farm -> ../available_farms/default.farm

As we see from above for some reason the dispatcher is not picking up the default.vhost in enabled farms even though its there (both symlinks and actual file place have been tried)

Hence the fix for it involved creating a new publish serverName vhost which was an exact replica of default.vhost, this solved the problem and rendered the publish URLs correctly.
