Go to Felix Console.
Disable the com.day.cq.commons.servlets.RootMappingServlet (CQ Day Root Mapping)
Open CRXDE
Change node (or override it in apps) /libs/cq/core/content/welcome, property sling:vanityPath to /author

That is one way.

Question: Why do you want to force the usage of /author on the author instance. That is just plain silly...

Hi Ove

That is working fine.. Only thing i did is mapping node to /author . But is it possible to hit the author instance only wen i type http://localhost:4502/author . Ie: if I type http://localhost:4502 it should not resolve to my login page

Thanks

Client request is wrong... Ask them if they would accept a sub-domain "admin.mydomain.com" instead of messing with the foundtions. Why charge for things that is as it is...

Sorry Ove

I have to correct myself... It was not client requested. But we had seen such mapping in some client machines

Thanks

Seems like you are looking to run instance in different context root. Go to http://<host>:<port>/admin change context root from / to /author. Restart the web application.
