Issue
- After migrating from Liferay DXP 7.3 to DXP 7.4, URL redirection rules defined in
rewriteurl.xml (no longer supported in 7.4) and through .config files stopped working.
- Liferay’s built-in redirection settings only handle site-level redirections and do not support redirection for URLs that include paths beyond the context path.
- How to apply redirection globally so that the URLs can be redirected between sites within the instance?
- Additionally, is there any way to perform URL rewriting using an out-of-the-box feature?
Resolution
- As per this article, the redirection of URLs via urlrewrite.xml is no longer supported in Liferay DXP 7.4.
- To apply URL redirection between sites, we can utilize Liferay's out-of-the-box feature i.e. Alias Redirects.
- Liferay's built-in redirection does not support URL rewriting or complex parameterized URL redirection. To achieve this, configure redirection rules at the web server level. For Apache, use the `mod_rewrite` module in the web server's configuration file. See Apache Module mod_rewrite for more information.
