Alfresco and mod_jk

[Chris A]

Alfresco 5.0.c with apache 2.4.10. We need users to access the alfresco share app from https://share2.domain.tld. Apache 2.4.10 faces the internet so we are trying to use mod_jk to "proxy" the requests to tomcat. Here is the worker.properties file:

worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009

Here is the JkMount directive in the vhost:

JkMount /share2/* worker1

When you type https://share2.domain.tld in a browser, you end up at the doc root (there isnt a /share on the end of the address). How exactly do you use mod_jk with alfresco?

I followed https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_To_Server

[Ian Crew]

The way we got around this was to just tell tomcat to deploy Share at / (ROOT) as well as at /share.  To do that, we added the following line to the very end of our tomcat server.xml file (5 lines from the end, just before the line reading “</host>”):

        <Context path="" debug="0" docBase="share" />

I don’t know if that’s exactly the right way to go about it, but it’s worked well for us for about 4.5 years now.

Cheers,

Ian
