After Alfresco 5.0.c install, issues with tomcat main page, etc.

[sepgs2004]

vm-alfresco is the server name

Tomcat main page does not show up (http://vm-alfresco:8080/). This means, I am seeing an empty page.

However http://vm-alfresco:8080/alfresco/ shows a page with a list of links.
One such link is Alfresco Share.
Clicking on this redirects to the following URL (http://127.0.0.1:8080/share/page/user/admin/dashboard), which is fine when accessing from the server machine itself.
But accessing the same from a different system on the network would give "page not found".

Did anyone have similar problems?

I am attaching the install screenshots.

You need to use a real network rather than the local loopback (127.0.0.1)

I wonder if it is due to the fact that I did not type in the server IP or name during installation. See the attached screenshot for when Alfresco installation prompted some tomcat server values that could have been altered.

I am going to try installing another time

I am sorry. I should have gone through it patiently
