Dispatcher is not a tool for replicating content. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I have installed publish instance for CQ5 site and also configure dispatcher with publish instance but here i'm confused how i determine dispatcher is working or not for publish instance.

Hi Amit,

If you hit the the URL with the web server port number, you should be able to see the page. 

These things should be done:

1. Install Apache / IIS

2. include dispatcher.any file and configure the cache , rules etc 

3. Set the dispatcher flush to your web server url on the replication agent of publish instance.

Hi bsloki,

1. I have already IIS web server.

2. Configure dispatcher with my custom site  and put all the configuration for publish instance in dispatcher.any file like hostname,port no. etc.

4. now i'm opening my publish instance there i go to Tools>Replication>Agent on Publish>Edit>Transport Tab, there i'm providing URI of my IIS site where i configured Dispatcher, now i test connection that time it showing error  HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error  can you suggest what i'm missing here.

Thanks.
