Difficulties with running the B2C Accelerator Web Front Ends - sap-commerce-cloud

Question

I have another problem:
1 I have configured and initialised the B2C Accelerator
2. I am running the B2C Accelerator, and I can run:
The MCC;
The PCM;
The hMC;
The WCMS;
The CS Cockpit;
The Admin Cockpit;
The Report Cockpit;
The Admin Console.
3. I cannot run however, the web store front-ends for:
Apparel Site DE : http://apparel-de.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/
Apparel Site UK :
http://apparel-uk.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/
Electronics Site :
http://electronics.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/
For each Google Chrome returns:
“This webpage is not available
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT”
4. Chcking my hosts file:
##
# BEGIN section for OpenVPN Client SSL sites
127.94.0.1 client.openvpn.net
127.94.0.2 openvpn-client.vpn.contiigo.net
# END section for OpenVPN Client SSL sites
# This is the DNS for apparel-de.local
127.0.0.2 apparel-de.local
127.0.0.3 apparel-uk.local
127.0.0.4 electronics.local
5. Checking my /hybris/config/localextensions.xml file…*
<hybrisconfig xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='../bin/platform/resources/schemas/extensions.xsd'>
<extensions>
<path dir='${HYBRIS_BIN_DIR}' autoload='false' />
<extension name='mcc' />
<extension name='backoffice' />
<extension name='commercesearchbackoffice' />
<extension name='commerceservicesbackoffice' />
<extension name='solrfacetsearchbackoffice' />
<extension name='solrserver' />
<extension name='yacceleratorcockpits' />
<extension name='yacceleratorinitialdata' />
<extension name='yacceleratorfulfilmentprocess' />
<extension name='yacceleratorstorefront' />
<extension name='yaddon' />
<extension name='ycommercewebservices' />
<extension name='electronicsstore' />
<extension name='apparelstore' />
<extension name='liveeditaddon' />
<extension name='acceleratorwebservicesaddon' />
</extensions>
</hybrisconfig>
6.Clearly there is a mis-configuration: what do I need to do configure the web store front-ends correctly?

Answer 1

I think in your host file all your local "sub domains" should point to the local network device 127.0.0.1 ..
I have it e.g. something like this:
127.0.0.1 b2ctelco.local financialservices.local apparel-uk.local apparel-de.local electronics.local
Another approach (the so called site parameter approach, see e.g. https://wiki.hybris.com/display/pmtelco/Using+Modulegen+to+Create+a+B2C+Telco+Setup#UsingModulegentoCreateaB2CTelcoSetup-AccessingtheStorefront ) would be to have the explicit ?site=electronics parameter at the first request to a storefront present.
This is only needed for the first request of a session (to set the BaseSite into the hybris session).
E.g.:
http://localhost:9001/yacceleratorstorefront?site=electronics
That should work for you now already without any hosts file modifications.
Hope that helps!

Answer 2

127.0.0.1 is always used for localhost
change all .2 .3 .4 to .1 in DNS naming system as above mentioned post.
didn't understand why u write .2 .3 .4 for DNS system
