Community Edition Share - anyone have it working?

tctim — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:13:52 GMT

I have posted several questions without any real solutions and have begun to wonder if anyone has the community edition of Share working or is all just POC stuff going directly to Tomcat and not through Apache?My Share related questions…http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=23975htt

The Community Edition of Share works just fine, even behind an Apache proxy.

How have you set up Apache? There are several approaches to using Apache in front of Alfresco, in my experience the mod_jk connector works fine and is pretty straightforward to set up.

Thanks for the reply…

I have mod_jk working - that's the weird thing.

I have mydomain.com/alfresco working fine but mydomain.com/share doesn't work. For the life of me I can't figure out why.

Also - localhost:8080/alfresco works and localhost:8080/share works….

All I can figure out is that somehow Apache isn't able to traverse the directory structure in /share like the app needs since Share works fine when you go directly to Tomcat.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year!

Could you post the relevant parts of your Apache configuration?

I've only had a quick look at your config, so I might be missing out on something, but here are a few quick comments.

First of all, why the aliases for /share /alfresco? I don't see why you want Apache to access the Tomcat directories directly, that's what you use mod_jk for. I'd comment out those lines, if they're not there for a specific reason I don't see directly.

Second, you're catching requests to .jsp files and redirecting them with mod_jk, but Share adresses don't contain any jsp-files, so they won't be forwarded. Instead you would need something looking like this:


JkMount /share/* ajp13
JkMount /alfresco/* ajp13‍‍‍
