Issue

  • While creating a page of type 'Link to URL',
      • If Absolute URL is given, the page is created successfully and is redirected to the respective link.
      • If Relative URL like "/web/guest/e-learning1" is given, the page is created successfully but is not redirected to the respective link and resource not found error is thrown. 
    The requested resource could not be found. 

    http://localhost:8080/web/guest/e-learning1?p_p_id=elTransaction_WAR_elTransaction&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&actionType=installmentPayment

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0, 
  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • This is intended behaviour of Liferay as the functionality of "Link to Url" page type is expected to work with absolute URL and not with the relative URL.
  • The above error is thrown since the relative URL mentioned in the link will get mapped with the host. Since this page is missing from the site, it results in an error.
