Does Alfresco Share only work on port 8080 of Tomcat ?

[rzs]

Hello,

I am using Alfresco Community Edition 3.3g Tomcat bundle. If i set the tomcat port to something other than 8080, and try to access alfresco share,then the login page comes up, but trying to login to share fails. I am however able to login to alfresco web client.
But,if i set the port to 8080, then im able to login to both Alfresco Share as well as the web client. Does Alfresco Share require port 8080 of Tomcat ?

Please help.
Thank You

Share runs remotely from the Alfresco Repository. If you change the connection port (or IP address - remember the Repository can be on a separate server) then you have to tell Share where you've moved it.

Look in the share-config-custom.xml.sample file in webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension for the config you need. This should all be mentioned in the installation guide - is it missing from there?

Thanks,
Mike

Did you tried to open an additional port in tomcat server.xml without commenting the existing one?
like

    <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
               port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />
    <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool"
               port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
