Access Alfresco by Domain Name

[mrudmann]

Hi,
I have been scouring these forums for a good answer to this.  Seems others have that same question, but I have yet to find a decent solution.

I would like to access my Alfresco from a web browser by typing http://www.myalfrescosite.com, instead of typing http://www.myalfrescosite.com:8080/alfresco.

Can someone provide insight as to how this can be accomplished?

Thanks!

… using mod_jk there is NO NEED to modify any configuration file in Alfresco. Apache does all the redirection magic.

Thanks for the feedback!

I looked at the documentation on mod_jk.

1) Can I implement mod_jk such that my users will only need to type in my.domain.com at browser address bar?

2) If so, do I simply need to make the configuration changes in the workers.properties file?

3) If so, can you perhaps provide me with an idea as to what the entries in workers.properties would look like?  I just see an example of port redirection and I am uncertain as to where/how I would remove the need for the addition of /alfresco at the end of the user-supplied url.

Thanks!!

Alexander,
Just wanted to let you know that I applied your method and it worked very nicely.

However, I am still interested in the mod_jk technique.  I will apply this on my test server to see how the implementation goes.

Thanks all!!
