I'm not quite sure this is what you are looking for, but I presented an Apache configuration in this thread, that might be of use:

Combining mod_jk and mod_rewrite, it allows users to access Alfresco and Share on two different domains, without needing to add the /alfresco and /share respectively (it will appended by Apache).

It works this way:

1. The user enters http://www.myalfrescodomain.com in the browser
2. Apache checks if there's a /alfresco in the URL and since there's not, that's appended
3. Apache receives the new URL (myalfrescodomain.com/alfresco), this time it passes the check
4. Apache forwards the request to Tomcat with mod_jk.

I don't know if that solves your problem?

hello gronfelt, nice to see you again

Yes, that is something that I was planning to do, but your previous post made it simpler
It is not as beautiful as I would like it to be (like it is with my Share site) but is works well and I will leave it that way.
The good thing is that I don't have to mess with alfresco endpoints.
