.
Preview Domain¶
If you need to use a different domain in the frontend or no sys domain record is available, you can use the following configuration inside your PageTsConfig:
TCEMAIN.previewDomain = localhost/sites/t3/master

If you see an exception about the
file Net/URL2.php
not found, please open the file typo3/contrib/vendor/pear/http_request2/HTTP/Request2.php

remove the require_once statement in line 24. This bug will be gone soon.
