Which port to use for Dispatcher flush on Author Instance

[RDBNDB]

I'm trying to get the dispatcher flush to work in my author and publish instances, however, whenever I test the connection I get the following error:

*************************************************

~~Replication test to http://localhost:8000/dispatcher/invalidate.cache

*******************************************************

Port 8000 was the default port so I left it, however when I check to see what ports are in use on the server, 8000 doesn't come up in the list. I'm assuming this is why I'm getting the error so my question is:  Is there any way to know what port I should be using?  My Author instance is running off port 8080 and my publish instance is using port 4502.

I'm relatively new at this so any help would be most welcome.

THanks.

Hi,

the dispatcher flush agent requires the web server and port number[1]. The request is sent to the Dispatcher module configured in your Apache Web server. Have you installed Apache and Dispatcher?

I installed the AEM forms using the turnkey installation so I'm assuming Apache and Dispatcher are there.

I change it to port 80.  The test message changes but the test still doesn't work.  I attached the test log message.

Can you post a link to the turnkey installation you are referencing, I only found this link [1] which talks about JBoss Turnkey. I don't know of any release that would give you a working Apache Web Server and Dispatcher.

can you get the error message in your webserver ?

the link would be: Install and deploy AEM forms Using JBoss Turnkey

It's installed on a Windows 2008 server and the turnkey install does install JBOSS which I believe includes Apache.

Hi,

It may install JBoss, but JBoss is not one of the supported products[1] for installing Dispatcher. The JBoss instance installed is only meant for  AEM Forms. You would need to install a separate Web Server and configure Dispatcher, this web server is required to specifically act as a  cache for your publish instance. Have a look at the deployment topologies[2] for AEM forms.
