Install up and running, can't log in to /share

[bradleyland]

With the help of my hosting provider (rimuhosting), I've got an Alfresco install running from the WAR distribution using alfresco.war, share.war, and vti-module.amp add-in using the MMT. Here's the catch. We initially installed and set up the DB without vti-module.amp installed, so I'm not sure if we have all the tables we need. So, the timeline looks like this:

* Install Alfresco using alfresco.war, share.war
* Run db_setup
* Log in successfully to /faces side of app
* Attempt login to /share, fail
* Realize vti-module.amp is required
* Apply using MMT
* Attempt login to /share, fail

Any pointers? This is a CentOS 5 VPS with no X-Windows environment, so I'm not sure if the OpenOffice requirement is a fit here. Could use some guidance on where to head next.

So through some research, I found that many of the Alfresco services were probably expected to be running on localhost. I updated the following files with my server's FQDN wherever I found localhost. Lines marked with # have been updated. However, after restarting Tomcat, and even a complete server reboot, my problem was not solved.
