Issue with AEM as a Cloud page redirection: Redirecting to /content.html after deploying system generated repository on AEM as a cloud DEV server

[Anish-Sinha]

Hello,
I am facing one issue on my cloud dev instance. I have created a deployment pipeline using the default repository on Cloud Manager. It is created using the latest archetype.

The deployment is successful. when I am trying to access the domain for publish with dispatcher, It is redirecting me to /content.html page instead of loading the /us/en.html page. When i am cloning the code from the repository, I see the correct dispatcher rule is present. 

This is a deployment without any custom code. Just deploying the system created repository to dev cloud. Not sure why the created dispatcher rules are not executing properly.

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

So did you let the CM bootstrap the archetype for you or did you do it manually? Which version were you using?

And what do you mean with "the correct dispatcher rule is present"? 

[Anish-Sinha]

I did let the CM bootstrap the archetype. By correct dispatcher rule I mean, the one comes with the project setup:

RewriteRule ^/?$ /content/${CONTENT_FOLDER_NAME}/us/en.html  [PT,L]

but somehow it is not getting triggered. No manual customization at all.

[Jörg_Hoh]

When I check the current version of the archetype, the default rewrite points to /index.html, see here.

[Anish-Sinha]

actually there is an include of rules just before that line:

Include conf.d/rewrites/rewrite.rules

and this file contains the redirection to home page which is:

RewriteRule ^/?$ /content/${CONTENT_FOLDER_NAME}/${country}/${language}.html [PT,L]

So ideally it should redirect to us/en.html with PT flag, which is my issue. Why this redirection is not happening and its going to index.html

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

Indeed. I would now start to enable mod_rewrite debugging to see if this rule is checked at all.

[Anish-Sinha]

Checking this...

Can you replicate this issue on your local dispatcher sdk setup ?

Also, Switch on the debug logs for dispatcher + trace level logging for the rewrite engine so it surfaces whats actually happening on your dispatcher module and creating this problem

Share the debug logs if you can here

[Anish-Sinha]

Not able to replicate this on local sdk. Local sdk works as expected.

Let me share the logs in a while.
