WEM 8.5 & New FURL Management

Nigel_Wakeling

Hi,

We potentially have the following issue with the use of the new FURL management in WEM 8.5.

In our development environment we have no load balancer (since they are expensive) so therefore the FURL Scheme for the site must include the context (sites) and the site name - i.e. /sites/testiste/Contact-Us

For production we will have a load balancer and a seperate domain name per site, therefore the context (sites) and the site name will not be included by FURL in the generated links: i.e. /Contact-Us

We have approx 50 sites that will use the same FURL Scheme (since it is now content driven) - So the issue we see is that when we export a site and then import it to PRD the FURL content comes with it, which if we are not careful to remove from the package will overwrite PRD and break all the sites.

The documentation states that if no URL scheme is selecte then Canonical URLs will be the default used.

My question is can this default be set to a scheme that you create.

 

Thx

Hi Nigel,

 

Why don’t you reproduce your production configuration with a web server (apache) on your dev environment as well? No need to use a load balancer for that purpose, and it will ensure a smoother migration process

 

Thanks
