Issue
- Create two sites
- Set a different virtual host for each site e.g. testsite.local, testsite2.local
- Upload a document into Documents and Media on your second site
- See that the uploaded file is available when accessing it with any of the site's URL
- Example:
http://localhost:8080/documents/[SiteID-from-testsite2]/0/[file-name]
http://testsite2.local:8080/documents/[SiteID-from-testsite2]/0/[file-name]
http://testsite.local:8080/documents/[SiteID-from-testsite2]/0/[file-name]
Resolution
- This is an intended behaviour.
- The virtual host is not taken into account when looking up a Document.
- Instead, the Document is retrieved via the parameters in the URL.
- The URL takes the form "/[Group Id]/[Folder Id]/[Document Title]/[(Optional) UUID]"?[Optional Timestamp "t" parameter].
- The virtual host serves no purpose in this URL format other than to point to the Liferay server.
