Vanity urls are not working on publishers

Avatar

Level 5

I have a page, where I wanted to add a vanity URL. After adding the vanity URL,

In Author instance, 

When checked on <SERVER_URL>/libs/granite/dispatcher/content/vanityUrls.html - VanityUrl appears fine.

In the Publish instance,

When checked on <SERVER_URL>/libs/granite/dispatcher/content/vanityUrls.html - VanityUrl doesn't appear. It should appear on the publisher instance.

 

When I hit the vanity URL directly on the publisher, I get the page with the correct content. Why do I get the correct page provided the vanity URL doesn't appear in Query?

 

When I hit the vanity URL via the dispatcher, it throws 404 error page.

 

I have checked a few threads in the community related to vanity URLs - but didn't find anything related to my query.

 

Please help me here with suitable pointers.

Hi Everyone, 

 

Thanks for looking into it.

The issue was with the re-indexing of oak indexes. It was not working properly on publishers and hence we need to manually re-index the failing Oak indexes. It resolves the issue.

@RitendraS11 Could you check if the anonymous user has access to this URL in publish

  /libs/granite/dispatcher/content/vanityUrls.html and set the read permission and do the testing?

@Saravanan_Dharmaraj - didn't get your point here - how the permissions on the vanity URLs page will impact here. The page is accessible on the publisher without login. It works fine with the old configured vanity URLs. Only, newly configured vanity URLs are not reflecting on publishers and dispatchers.

 

I have a similar setup for one test environment and vanityUrls works perfectly there.

Gotcha. I thought none of them are coming through that URL. So its only new one added not showing up.

Yes, only the new one added not showing up in publisher and dispatcher.

@RitendraS11 I am not sure if you are using ACS Commons, please check the following rewrite mapper to debug more with VanityURLService.

https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/vanity-path-rewrite-mapper/inde...

Check the last part in that page , the reason why you get the 404 resolution in dispatcher and how to fix it with it. But one thing is if it works for other vanity URLs, it should work for this one too. 
Try to republish the page from Author which has vanity URL configured and see.

@robertol6836527 - As mentioned in my query, the vanity URLs appeared fine in the author instance and not in publishers for newly changed URLs. In my checks, I found that some oak indexes were failing. Once, the indexes were re-indexed - the issue was resolved.
