root, webdav and share

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 already read that implementing share breaks the office add-in. I also am noticing that webdav is broken (I guess it is related). I also noticed that going directly to the root causes a 500 error. (http://localhost:8080). Is this normal behavior or is there an error on my part?

In my old installation I fronted tomcat with alfresco with my own root. (http://localhost/alfresco showed the "alfresco explorer" and http://localhost displayed my intranet). Is there a simple way to configure share to work with an apache front end?  I guess some sort of url redirection?

Thanks for your time and insight….

It's not Share that causes the problem (you can run Share alongside the Office add-in without issue), it's the SharePoint integration module. If you're using the built-in SharePoint panel in Office, you shouldn't need the add-in too. However, we are aware that "normal" webdav is also broken in this instance. Unfortunately the hoops we had to jump through to emulate the MS protocol made this unavoidable. Basically, the protocol assumes SharePoint is the only thing running on the server.

The good news is that the SharePoint module is going through a redesign where these problems should disappear. You should expect to see more about that in the new year.
