For whatever reason it is not really documented that you can set the aos.baseUrlOverwrite property in alfresco-global.properties to specify an explicit base URL to use when generating the URLs/links for Edit Online, which is necessary in proxy-based use cases but also if the name of the local host is not reliably resolved by default to a publicly accessible name.

The default value of this property is:

aos.baseUrlOverwrite=http://${localname}:8080/alfresco/aos‍

And you'd simply have to specify an explicit host name to fix it.

Maybe you have to configure alfresco.host too in alfresco-global.properties

Hi Axel,

That was the solution. aos.baseUrlOverwrite works fine. Thank you for your help.

My next problem, that when I save the document after editing in Word, it always says that somebody else is editing as well and the changes will be merged. It is annoying (because it is not true), but the final result is OK, it saves the document correctly as a new minor version.

Hello.

If the original problem is solved, you should be marking this thread as Solved, and then start a new one with the new problem.

You second question is kind of lost in here.
