Answer 1

You need to use hosts file mappings or use the site-ID parameter to avoid a 500 error.

Please follow these link

If you have administrator rights, it is a good idea to add the following entries in your host file.

127.0.0.1 hybris.local [Example]

The etc hosts modification allows the accelerator to identify sites (CMSSites) from the url. This makes the URL neat and clean.

After host file change, You can access the site like this

http://hybris.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/

If you don't do this, the sites would need to be identified with an additional request parameter like this

http://localhost:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/?site=hybris&clear=true

Answer 2

Error "Cannot find CMSSite associated with current URL".

This is because you are not telling hybris which site you want to access.

There are three ways to do that

1. Simply pass your siteID as a request parameter(?site=SiteID) in your first request which helps the Hybris to understand which site you are trying to access. Let's say I'm trying to access powertools site then URL would be https://localhost:9002/yacceleratorstorefront?site=powertools

2. Access site with siteID as DNS name. You can make 127.0.0.1 host with <siteID>.local. Let's say I want to access a powertools (It's CMSSite id for powertools), then add an entry like 127.0.0.1 powertools.local in your host file and then access your site using http://powertools.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/ instead of localhost

3. Add a new regular expression of your choice in the urlPatterns of your CMSSite. So that you can access your site as you want. Let's say I want to access site using localhost URL only and without passing ?site=powertools ever. So I need to add a new regex like (?i)^https?://[^/].*$ to urlPatterns of powertools CMSSite. Now I can directly open powertools site using https://localhost:9002/yacceleratorstorefront/

You can do that using Impex as well

$siteUid=mysite       
# CMS Site                                                                                                 
INSERT_UPDATE CMSSite ; uid[unique=true] ; urlPatterns                                                                                                                  ;      
                      ; $siteUid         ; (?i)^https?://[^/]+(/[^?]*)?\?(.*\&)?(site=$siteUid)(|\&.*)$,(?i)^https?://$siteUid\.[^/]+(|/.*|\?.*)$,(?i)^https?://[^/].*$ ;
