Hi Savic,

Thanks for reply.

I have placed customized favicon.ico under server at /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/my.own.domain/deploy/alfresco.war. Also i have updated index.jsp under alfresco.war with this tag at the start of the page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

It worked once initially fine but otherwise it is showing blank favicon.I cleared browser cache also but of little use.

Any ideas?

do not change jsp pages, only icon. just put other favicon.ico instead existing one.

Hi Lalit,

Just by renaming the existing file and placing the new file should work.
If it does not work still, I suggest removing your app server cache also, in addition to your browser cache removal. Hope it is helpful!
I don't see you mentioning, removal of app server cache!

thank you

Hi Selvan,

I cleared browser cache as well as app server cache by deleting log, tmp & work folders under /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/my.own.domain/. Once it worked fine but again it started showing same behavior.

Can it be because i am using my.own.domain instead of "default" ?? :?:

If it worked for you once, I believe the cause has to be something small like this.

hi,
actually solution is to override pageTag and add favicon ico to the header of page.
mube there are others but this works 100%
