I've got mod_jk installed on my server that proxys any web requests from port 80 to 8080 and is displayed with the standard tomcat page. However i need it to go to /share but without the user knowing this. Basically i dont want the user to know the folder and / or the tomcat setup.
So i've just tried deploying the share.war to the root folder by… Stopping the alfresco services, then re-naming the root folder to root_1 then re-naming the share.war file as ROOT.war and then starting the alfresco services. This makes a replica of the share directory but when i try and browse to the computer on port 8080 i get a url is not available error message. If i go to the :8080/share it works fine.
I did get it working in the end but as we have hardcoded some extra coding it wasnt an option so looking at proxying content though apache instead now.
