Virtual Host
About Virtual Host
You can differentiate search results based on the hostname (URL’s host part) when accessing fess. Since search results are displayed in individual JSP files, you can also customize the design.
System Configuration
Configure the “Virtual Host” in the Administrator’s Guide > General Settings. Specify the configured virtual host name in the crawl settings.
Format
Host:hostname[:port]=virtual_host_name
| hostname | A hostname or IP address that can be resolved (DNS) on the system. |
| port | Optional. The default is 80. |
| virtual_host_name | The virtual host name specified in the crawl settings. |
Example
Host:abc.example.com:8080=host1
Host:192.168.1.123:8080=host2
After configuration, the search page JSP files will be generated in the WEB-INF/view/virtual_host_name directory. You can edit these files to customize the page design for each virtual host.
Crawl Configuration
Specify the “Virtual Host” in the web crawl settings, file crawl settings, or data store crawl settings. The “Virtual Host” should match one of the virtual host names configured in the system settings.
Example
| Virtual Host | host1 |
