Hi There,

 

We are trying to create virtualhost for our multiwebsite. We are following this link https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-domains.html?lang=en#aem-rewrites-incoming-urls We have created different virtualhost for both website. 

 

In vhost file what is DocumentRoot "${DOCROOT}" and value of this variable for different domain?

The simplified approach is(this is followed as part of the latest AMS/AEMasaCloud Dispatcher configurations)

  • Use a common docroot e.g. "/mnt/var/www/html" for all the Vhosts and farm files
  • Enable PT rules in rewrite file to send the request to AEM Publisher with complete URL - this helps to cache multiple website content into a common docroot without impacting each other. e.g 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/apps/(.*) [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/etc(.*) [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/libs(.*) [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content(.*) [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/system(.*) [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dam(.*) [NC] RewriteRule ^/(.*) /content/test/$1 [PT]

HI @lavishvasuja ,

The /docroot property identifies the directory where cached files are stored.The value must be the exact same path as the document root of the web server so that Dispatcher and the web server handle the same files.The web server is responsible for delivering the correct status code when the dispatcher cache file is used, that’s why it is important that it can find it as well.

If you use multiple farms, each farm must use  a different document root.
Hope it helps!

Thanks
Tarun
