Please check your dispatcher logs and make sure that AEM Dispatcher settings are correct. Or if you're getting any specific error, please share it...

Dispatcher log is empty.

However i am getting the below in error.log

[Mon Jul 22 11:38:25 2019] [warn] Dispatcher set as handler, but not configured in server [01HW466704.India.domain.com].

Hi Sumank,

Based on this error.log snippet you shared and also the httpd.conf file shared -- I found a forum [1] which may address why your Dispatcher handler configurations are not picking.

Please modify your httpd.conf file --- use this below 'IfModule' tag based on your LoadModule statement :

LoadModule dispatcher_module  modules/disp_apache2.2.dll

...

<IfModule dispatcher_module>

Do NOT use this (current httpd.conf referencing wrong module ):

<IfModule disp_apache2.c>

Please try and let us know --

Regards,

Lisa

Hi Sumak,

DIspatcher module is called out properly. Since Dispatcher log is empty Apache not able to recognize you added disp module as recommended ...

DIspatcher module is called out properly.

I have added the following file into modules folder.

disp_apache2.2.dll

And i included this below file into httpd.conf

LoadModule dispatcher_module  modules/disp_apache2.2.dll

but still i get  the same error as mentioned above.

Please help me

This is my httpd.conf file. Where is the problem in code please help me.

#

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.

# In particular, see

# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>

# for a discussion of each configuration directive.

#

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure

# consult the online docs. You have been warned. 

#

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the

# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin

# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so 'log/access_log'

# with ServerRoot set to '/www' will be interpreted by the

# server as '/www/log/access_log', where as '/log/access_log' will be

# interpreted as '/log/access_log'.

#

# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes

# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").

# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located

# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply

# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

#

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

#

# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point

# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive

# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple

# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.

#

ServerRoot "C:\Tool\httpd-2.2.34-win32\Apache2"

#

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

# directive.

#

# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

#

#Listen 12.34.56.78:8181

Please comment Vhost config and run the plain Httpd.conf  .

Double check with the below URL :

Hi Suman, please check if you have made the configuration in dispatcher.any file in line number 30. Please see the screenshot, where you need to mention the publish port. And make sure you have placed the dispatcher.any file from downloaded dispatcher module to Apache installation directory inside /conf folder.

Source image file 18888 not available

Hope this helps!
