Accessing Alfresco outside of LAN

I have installed Alfresco on a windows server. It works well within the LAN. When I access outside of LAN network I get following error after login. (Please see attachment)

Note: I am able to get to the login screen.

Something's wrong with this page...

We may have hit an error or something might have been removed or deleted, so check that the URL is correct.

Alternatively you might not have permission to view the page (it could be on a private site) or there could have been an internal error. Try checking with your Alfresco administrator.

If you're trying to get to your home page and it's no longer available you should change it by clicking your name on the Alfresco toolbar.

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

As you can see, this is a very generic error message, so you'll have to provide a lot more information if you expect to get any useful suggestions.

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.
