Changing Alfresco's default path

[gheesh]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Alfresco so that it serves content using another path instead of the usual /alfresco, in my case:

http://server.example.com/repository/

instead of

http://server.example.com:8080/alfresco/

The port part is easy, but I have looked for information on how to change the path and I haven't been able to find any, using either Alfresco or Tomcat. I tried using an Apache reverse proxy, but Alfresco uses too many HTML tags and redirects for it to work smoothly.

Any ideas?

Did you try just renaming the .war file?

Nice! It worked by renaming the current directory as well (so simple… I can't believe I didn't think about it!)

And if I wanted Alfresco to be served from the root directory?

i.e.: http://server.example.com/

[mikeh]

Probably ROOT.war, although you needs to check the Tomcat docs for that.

Ok I'll see what I can find and post any relevant pointers here.

Thank you very much!

Hi there,
with Alfresco Labs 3.0C, changing the port number in servers.xml will not work, since you have to edit about a thousand configfles for that.

Rather edit tomcat/conf/server.xml :
* copy & paste the "Port=8080" sectin
* change the second "Port=8080" to "Port=80"
and redirect both to port 443

This will give you the Port80 Entry and allow all the hardcoded  "localhost:8080" settings to work all the same.
