Nice! It worked by renaming the current directory as well (so simple… I can't believe I didn't think about it!)

And if I wanted Alfresco to be served from the root directory?

i.e.: http://server.example.com/

Probably ROOT.war, although you needs to check the Tomcat docs for that.

Hi there,
with Alfresco Labs 3.0C, changing the port number in servers.xml will not work, since you have to edit about a thousand configfles for that.

Rather edit tomcat/conf/server.xml :
* copy & paste the "Port=8080" sectin
* change the second "Port=8080" to "Port=80"
and redirect both to port 443

This will give you the Port80 Entry and allow all the hardcoded "localhost:8080" settings to work all the same.
