/ not /alfresco/

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I'm trying to setup https://example.com/ instead of https://example.com/alfresco/.

I'm using mod_proxy for the https side:

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:81/alfresco/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:81/alfresco/
‍‍‍‍

and

   <Connector port="81" address="127.0.0.1" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" debug="5"
                maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
                enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100"
                connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
                proxyName="dms.kpac.co.nz" proxyPort="443" scheme="https" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

However I get the following error via a redirect when attempting to connect to https://example.com/.

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/alfresco/faces/jsp/dashboards/container.jsp
‍‍‍

ie.

[nic@shell:~] wget –no-check-certificate https://dms.kpac.co.nz/

I've tried to figure out if I can correct the behavior with the tomcat virtual servers configuration, but I'm stuck. Can any put though some configuration examples that might help me sort this out.

Have another look at the docs for mod_proxy.
You're forgetting to set  "ProxyRequests off"  before
your other directives.

As an example for how to set up a reverse proxy,  see:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Virtualization_Server_FAQ#How_can_you_simplify_the_URLs_that_end-users_see.3F


While the virt server faq shows how to make a "pretty"
reverse proxy facade for 1 virtualized webapp, the
technique you'd use for making the URL for the
Alfresco webapp itself would be quite similar.

I hope this helps you.
