Change 'alfresco' in URL

tonyc — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:50:00 GMT

Hey all-Is there a way to change the url from http://localhost:8080/alfresco to http://localhost:8080/content?I know I could use apache to redirect requests from content to alfresco, but the end user would still see the alfresco in URL.

Rename the .war file?

If you use Share, you'll have to tell it where you've moved the Repo of course, so be sure to copy a modified webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample into a web-extensions folder (remove the .sample)

Thanks,
Mike

How does this work?
Could I some code snipits please.

I can't find webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample
I am renaming share.war?
I like the idea or http://host:8080/content/ instead of http://host:8080/share/

Thanks for the assistance.

I am on alfresco-community 3.2 from the canonical ubuntu package.

When alfresco.war gets deployed and therefore extracted, it creates the subfolder alfresco (maybe this is a copy of its own name).
To use another name, before deployment, the old alfresco-folder should be moved out and the file renamed to what is wanted.

The file you used is there:
Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample
Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/extensions/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample
While I'm not perfectly sure, which one is meant.

The file "/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml.sample" is at "http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco/files/Alfresco/Alfresco%20Labs%203%20Final/alfresco-labs-sample-extensions-3Stable.tar.gz/download".
You should download, install it and replace all "http://localhost:8080/alfresco" to "http://localhost:8080/<custom>"

I did this but didn't work for me.

I copied the content of "/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/cmwebshare/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config.xml" to "/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/webscript-framework-config-custom.xml and replace all "http://localhost:8080/alfresco" to "http://localhost:8080/<custom>".
When I restart alfresco service and tried login into "http://localhost:8080/<custom>", its works fine.

I hope that my "solution" helps

I would not advise to change this, alfresco has some hardcoded stuff inside him.
if you are running on apache you can create url mask to you have

content.some.com -> some.com:8080/alfresco this is better solution than to change from alfresco to content
