web interface fine but can't log into slingshot

[nadaoneal]

We're getting "The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognised," when we attempt to log into http://ourserver/share , though the web interface works fine from http://ourserver/alfresco . I've looked around for other people having the same problem, and it seems they usually have it when the web interface isn't running either.

The one "weird" thing about our setup is that we're running Alfresco's tomcat on port 8099 instead of 8080, since there's another tomcat running on the same machine, already using 8080. Could Slingshot still be trying to talk on 8080? Maybe it's talking on some random blocked port? Is there some config file I should be poking at?

I'm watching tomcat/logs/catalina.out as I try to log in, and I don't see the attempt, but I don't know that I would. I've turned up the logging of "log4j.logger.org.alfresco" in /tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties to "debug" just in case.

share.war seems to come up fine:

There are a number of configuration files you have to update if you're moving the Alfresco Repository to a port other than 8080.

These are:
* $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml
* $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/pagerenderer-config.xml
* $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config-test.xml
* $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config.xml
* $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscripts/org/alfresco/indexall.get.mediawiki.ftl

To double-check that's all of them, search for "8080" under the Share webapp and update to 8099 to match your configuration.

This deployment situation is something we plan to make easier to configure in the future.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi there,
it wont work in your case, but generally as alternative, you can define a second connector on port 8080. The external connections come in on 80 and the local services can then go on to localhost:8080

P.S. : I stole Mikes summary and made it into a wiki entry. If you have updates, please edit it in the wiki as well.

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed to know.

Norgan, great solution for my site, and easy to implement, thank you!

Hi!
I have this situation with port changing. I would to setup alfresco to work on port 9090. By following upper posts and searching over the files I have changed this files:

And the result is almost perfect. Alfresco Webclient works, Share works, Mobile site works but Alfresco Studio won't let me in. I get the login page but login fails.
Log in console says:

It looks like standard error for beginners but I can't find any configuration files or anything else that I should change.
Any help ideas??
Thank you all in advance.

Hi!
It looks like port have nothnig to do with this problem. I've setup alfresco on another workstation on default port (8080) and Studio stil doesn't work.
Previous version 3.2 was working.
So, what now? Give up? Switch something else for page authoring? Liferay? Or, maybe just wait for another release.
