What have you tried to resolve the problem? Are you seeing any errors in the log?

I am clueless. Nothing in the logs. I access Alfresco via Apache. So basically tomcat is behind apache. I created a virtual host in apache with following directives. Appreciate your assistance.

ServerName abc.example.com

ProxyPass /alfresco http://192.168.1.101:8080/alfresco

ProxyPassReverse /alfresco http://192.168.1.101:8080/alfresco

ProxyPass /share http://192.168.1.101:8080/share

ProxyPassReverse /share http://192.168.1.101:8080/share

I solved this by adding below two directives in apache conf

ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyRequests Off

Hi:

Nothing in share.log ? Maybe CSRF filter or any share security filter ? What did Apache say in apache.log ?

You can also try with ajp://192.168.1.101:8009 enabling mod_proxy_ajp in Apache (instead of http based ones).

Regards.
