Amazon Web Services (or AWS) provides a plethora of cloud services<\/a> which can be used and integrated to build a complete solution architecture for such applications. AWS provides capabilities such as global capacity, security, reliability, fault tolerance, programmability, and usability.<\/p>\n An AEM instance is essentially a copy of the AEM jar running on a system on a specific port. These instances can be run on a single machine (using a different port for each instance) or various machines. This blog demonstrates the process of setting up AEM Author and AEM Publish instances, along with the Dispatcher on an AWS EC2 machine running on CentOS 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n You need to ensure that the Apache HTTP Server and Java are running\u00a0to set up AEM instances.<\/p>\n Install Apache<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n [js]sudo yum update Install Java<\/strong><\/p>\n [js]sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel[\/js]<\/p>\n Outlined below are the steps to setup AEM instances:<\/b><\/p>\n – Dispatcher<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n The dispatcher instance is configured using a dispatcher module (dispatcher-apache<x.y>-<rel-nr>.so) and a configuration file (dispatcher.any)<\/p>\n [js] tar -xvf dispatcher-apache-xxx.tar.gz – CHANGES<\/b><\/p>\n Changes comprise of issues resolved in each release<\/p>\n – Conf <\/b><\/p>\n These are configuration files for dispatcher<\/p>\n dispatcher-apache<x.y>-<rel-nr>.so : <\/b>The Dispatcher shared object library file which will be added to the Apache web server<\/p>\n – README<\/b><\/p>\n README contains installation instructions<\/p>\n [js]ln -s \/path\/to\/dispatcher\/dispatcher-apache<x.y>-<rel-nr>.so \/etc\/httpd\/modules\/mod_dispatcher.so[\/js]<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n [js]cp dispatcher.any \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/dispatcher.any[\/js]<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n [js]SELINUX=disabled[\/js]<\/p>\n<\/li>\n [js]\/usr\/sbin\/setsebool httpd_can_network_connect true[\/js]<\/p>\n Add the following lines:<\/p>\n [js]Listen 80 <Directory \/> – Author and Publisher:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n [js]mkdir -p \/opt\/aem\/author AEM author and publish instances are configured using run modes. For example, author instances use the author run mode\u00a0and publish instances use the publish run mode.<\/p>\n These run instances can be configured through the naming of the jar file (cq5-<run mode>-p<port>.jar).<\/p>\n [js]cp AEM_6.x_Quickstart.jar \/opt\/aem\/author\/cq5-author-p4502.jar The run mode of an AEM instance cannot be changed once it has been installed.<\/p>\n [js]java -jar \/opt\/aem\/author\/cq5-author-p4502.jar -unpack Unpacking of the jar files creates a folder named \u2018crx-quickstart\u2019 which contains the\u00a0script to start\/stop the AEM instance and logs.<\/p>\n [js]java -jar \/opt\/aem\/publish\/cq5-author-p4502.jar -r publish[\/js]<\/p>\n Every AEM instance is an author instance by default.
