Problem with redirect from 80 to 8080

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.

Hi all,
I installed Alfresco-5.0.a on Centos 6.4 64 bit (Tomcat web service), everything work fine, my users can access to alfresco by typing http://192.168.0.8:8080/alfresco or http://192.168.0.8:8080/share
192.168.0.8 is my internal ip address .
Now I want to do redirect by Apache mod_jk so :

http://alfresco.mydomain.com will be redirected to http://192.168.0.8:8080/share
http://alfresco.mydomain.com/alfresco will be redirected to http://192.168.0.8:8080/alfresco

I followed this article: https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_To_Server
This is my confifguration:

cat /opt/alfresco-5.0.a/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/root.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="" docBase="share.war">
</Context>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_jk.conf

LoadModule    jk_module  modules/mod_jk.so
<IfModule jk_module>
  # —- Where to find workers.properties
        JkWorkersFile   conf.d/workers.properties
  # —- Where to put jk logs
  JkLogFile       logs/mod_jk.log
  # —- Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
  JkLogLevel    info
  # —- Select the timestamp log format
  JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
  JkRequestLogFormat "%w %R %T"
  # —- Send everything for context /examples to worker named worker1 (ajp13)
  JkMountFileReload       "0"


</IfModule>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/workers.properties

worker.list=tomcat

worker.tomcat.port=8009
worker.tomcat.host=localhost
worker.tomcat.type=ajp13
worker.tomcat.lbfactor=1
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/alfresco.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alfresco.mydomain.com
ProxyRequests   Off
JkMount /* tomcat
</VirtualHost>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My server redirect request from 80 to 8080 successfully , but it don't append "/share" to URL when my users type http://alfresco.mydomain.com or http://192.168.0.8:8080 on web browser, they must use absolute path

This is log when startup alfresco:
