Enabling Access to Vanity URLs ( vanityUrls.html )
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to implement the Vanity URLs in AEM to give the authors a way to enter the vanity URLs themselves in the page properties, We are currently using Mod_Proxy and Mod_Rewrites which we want to get off by using Adobe VanityUrls, I'm following these documentations https://blog.rackspace.com/enabling-vanity-urls-with-adobe-experience-manager and the same is mentioned in Adobe dispatcher configuration as-well here's the link Configuring Dispatcher
My issues/doubts here are
1.Creation of /libs/granite/dispatcher/content/vanityUrls.html file, Does that file get created automatically or do we have to create it manually, It is not getting created automatically for me, when I created it manually It doesn't seem to have anything in the file it's always empty(Do we have to add any code or text in this file)
2.Creation of /tmp/vanity_urls in dispatcher Instance(AWS) Will this be created automatically or to be manually created, It didn't work when I created manually
3. Adobe mentions this point (For each vanity URL that you have configured for an AEM or CQ page, ensure that the /filter configuration denies the URL. If necessary, add a filter that denies the URL. ) in Configuring Dispatcher , Does this mean we have to deny the original path in the dispatcher?
Please clarify on these, Appreciate a lot, Here is the dispatcher.log file
