Issue
- We can't add/update our domain to our site's or instance's virtual host
- We get the below error on the UI:
Please enter a unique virtual host. Virtual hosts must be valid domain names.
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.2+
- Liferay DXP 7.0+
Resolution
- There are a few things that might cause the above error message:
- Check your database's
virtualhost table and see if there is already a virtual host with the same domain name
- The domain name you've specified starts with http:// or https://
- (e.g. http://www.test.com instead of www.test.com)
- The domain name ends with a slash (/) character
- (e.g. test.com/ instead of test.com)
