Hi spiritz,

During installation of Alfresco don't use localhost as the host name .
Give the IP address of the system so that whenever you want to access alfresco from other's system you can access by hitting the url

http://IP of hostort number/alfresco-alfresco explorer
http://IP of hostort number/share-alfresco share
You can access alfresco until the server runs.

Many thanks abhashree for your answer

How can I edit it if I not want to install a new one?
I've edit in "alfresco-global.properties" that change value of "web.application.context.url" from "http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco" to "http://<my ip address>:8080/alfresco" and restart my alfresco server. I founded it does'nt work again.

I can access to "http://<my ip address>:8080/alfresco" from my pc (noted: I've installed alfresco server on VMWare with another ip address with my pc) but I can't access to it from my co-worker pc.

I still confising about the permission for accessing to Alfresco Explorer ? Why my pc can access to it but not work with my co-worker pc.

abhashree, Can you access to Alfresco Explorer with every pc on the network with default configuration?

HI
You can change the url of alfresco from localhsot to IP address of your system by going to tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml.sample
rename the share-config-custom.xml.sample to share-config-custom.xml
and add following

<alfresco-config>

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Remote">
      <remote>
         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-noauth</id>
            <name>Alfresco - unauthenticated access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that do not require authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://Ip of system:8080/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>none</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco</id>
            <name>Alfresco - user access</name>
            <description>Access to Alfresco Repository WebScripts that require user authentication</description>
            <connector-id>alfresco</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://ip of system:8080/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>

         <endpoint>
            <id>alfresco-feed</id>
            <name>Alfresco Feed</name>
            <description>Alfresco Feed - supports basic HTTP authentication via the EndPointProxyServlet</description>
            <connector-id>http</connector-id>
            <endpoint-url>http://IP of the system:8080/alfresco/s</endpoint-url>
            <basic-auth>true</basic-auth>
            <identity>user</identity>
         </endpoint>
      </remote>
   </config>

</alfresco-config>

Try this out .
I think using this you can access the url of alfresco from other systems in the same network.

I've done it with your suggestion and it's work as well…

so, thank you so much for your kindly supported.

But my co-worker pc still cannot access to the Alfresco Explorer… I think it may be my network problem.

Thank you again.
