In order to active extensionless friendly URL's in XperienCentral the following steps should be executed:

Update the Friendly URL Setting application_settings.friendly_url_extension

Clear the field.

Clearing the cache

Since the cached files in XperienCentral contain links with the extension still included, the cache should be cleared entirely (see Server Configuration). There are two ways to do this. You can either use "Initialize caching" or set all the other timestamps. Initialize caching should only be used on an environment which is not currently in production. When the server is not running in production you can use the Initialize caching option and then reindex the frontend search index to preload the cache before going live again.

The other option is to click "Update timestamps" for all options except for "Initialize caching". This means that a page is refreshed in the background after it's been served from the cache the first time it was requested after the timestamps have been updated. This does mean that the user that requests the page for the first time after the timestamps have been set will be served a cached version with links that won't work. In order to prevent the user from getting 404 errors, you can configure Apache to rewrite any URLs containing the old extension to the version without the extension. See "Updating the Apache Configuration" above for an example.

Reindex the Frontend Index

The frontend index contains links with the old friendly URL extension, so in order to fix that the frontend search index should be rebuilt. If the Apache RewriteRule to strip the extension from any incoming URLs is used, this may be done in production because the old URLs will be rewritten by Apache to the new format.

Configure reserved context paths

When running XperienCentral without an extension, a few paths should be added to the application_settings.reserved_context_paths (see reserved context path) in the General tab of the Setup Tool. The following values should be added:

• web
• static
• upload
• upload_mm
• cfg
• info
• wm
