Hi, I have requirement of creating channels for production specific domains like [https://www.myproject.com](https://www.myproject.com/) Where to start configuring? Already conofiured like this but still Channel is not showing in in Experence Manager ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/bloomreach1/original/1X/182e9e9570bf27260c606e5481bb2f81295b23c7.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/bloomreach1/original/1X/7df25494bd3e6e2f6e0f3ffa82faf0af690a3317.png) Am I missing anything here? ---

You need to set up the relationship between hst:root, hst:site and hst:configuration nodes. It’s explained here: [https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/hst-configuration-model/sites--channels-configuration.html](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/hst-configuration-model/sites--channels-configuration.html) ---

> [@bcanvural](#): > > hst:configuration Hi, I followed the same document and Iam sure I followed each and every step over there. Only doubt I had is about hst:mountpoint. Couldn’t understand where to add this confguration Still couldn’t see the Channels Please guide. ---

hst:mountpoint is a property you can add on the hst:root node ---

Yeah, I tried adding it but it is not allowing me to click on OK button. Any reason? ---

Probably the jcr node has some mandatory other properties which need to be saved as well. You could copy an existing hst:root node from other configuration and modify as necessary. ---

Yes, Now Iam able to add hst:mountpoint in hst:root Everything looks fine. Now the doubt is : Is this a mandatory that channel name and host name should match? or any format for domain? In my case Project Name : myproject host : [brxm.fnp.com](http://brxm.fnp.com) ---

No it’s not mandatory. You can reuse hst configurations for multiple channels. You can also create configuration hierarchies between different channels. What matters is that hst:site node should have the same name as the hst:configuration node it’s referring to. hst:root/hst:mountpoint -\> hst:site -\> hst:configuration (hst:myproject) ---

I got your point and I did the same. Can you please check my configuration and correct me if Iam wrong ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/bloomreach1/original/1X/ea7bef777c21ce19dd124dc19760eaa0c5d013d0.png) ---

It looks like you mixed up some things with hst:platform config. Can you show me your hst:platform configuration as well? that would be at /hst:platform. Can you also provide the site url ? at which url should site be accessible? ---

Ok good. Some points: 1. Remove the mountpoint from hst:platform’s hst:root 2. Remove the namedpipeline from hst:myproject’s hst:root 3. Make sure the hst:myproject’s virtual host node (maybe the “com” one) has hst:scheme=https and hst:showcontextpath=true ---

I also see that your mountpoint is pointing to the wrong thing. It should be: /hst:myproject/hst:sites/myproject ---
