I created a new Hybris extension using one of the given templates.
The build was successful and I am able to start the server, too.
But when opening the weblink from the HAC I get the error "Cannot find CMSSite associated with current URL".
Are there suggestions to solve or investigate this issue?
You need to use hosts file mappings or use the site-ID parameter to avoid a 500 error.
Please follow these link
https://wiki.hybris.com/display/accdoc/Just+One+Storefront
https://help.hybris.com/6.3.0/hcd/8ae0711f86691014877ae05249b2f5ac.html (Hybris 6)
If you have administrator rights, it is a good idea to add the following entries in your host file.
127.0.0.1 hybris.local
[Example]
The etc hosts modification allows the accelerator to identify sites (CMSSites) from the url. This makes the URL neat and clean.
After host file change, You can access the site like this
http://hybris.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/
If you don't do this, the sites would need to be identified with an additional request parameter like this
http://localhost:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/?site=hybris&clear=true
In addition to the host entry, make sure to add the appropriate regular expression for your website.
The CMS site has an attribute called urlPatterns. This is a list of regular expressions that the website CMS filters match to determine which storefront a user is trying to access.
The simplest thing is to add a further regular expression to the CMS site like the one below:
(?i)^https?://[^/]*/yacceleratorstorefront((?![\?\&]site=).)*
At run time, you can can do it in the hybris Management Console(hMC). Navigate to WCMS Website Your Site Name Properties tab and edit URL Patterns section.
To make the change permanent, add the appropriate code to the CMS site setup ImpEx script run during the project data phase of initialization e.g. for electronics storefront
# CMS Site
UPDATE CMSSite;uid[unique=true];urlPatterns;
;electronics;(?i)^https?://[^/]+(/[^?]*)?\?(.*\&)?(site=electronics)(|\&.*)$,(?i)^https?://electronics\.[^/]+(|/.*|\?.*)$,(?i)^https?://api\.hybrisdev\.com(:[\d]+)?/rest.*$,(?i)^https?://[^/]*/yacceleratorstorefront((?![\?\&]site=).)*;
If you looking for the quick solution and want to avoid query parameter(?site=mysite
) in URL to open your site, run the below Impex. Change mysite
with your CMSSite name. Now you can directly open your site like. https://localhost:9002/yacceleratorstorefront/
$siteUid=mysite
# CMS Site
INSERT_UPDATE CMSSite ; uid[unique=true] ; urlPatterns ;
; $siteUid ; (?i)^https?://[^/]+(/[^?]*)?\?(.*\&)?(site=$siteUid)(|\&.*)$,(?i)^https?://$siteUid\.[^/]+(|/.*|\?.*)$,(?i)^https?://[^/].*$ ;
Note: If you have multiple sites, in that case, you need to think different regex otherwise this site will become your default site.
This issue usually comes up if the server was started with unsatisfied spring bean dependencies. Please check your server startup log to confirm which particular bean or beans failed to initialise.
