Synchronisation web/webdav/CIFS

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.

Alfresco 1.4 community final. Configured using mysql. Empty repository. Configured behind a reversed-proxy apache2 server.

1. Open web interface
2. Mount CIFS
3. Open webdav

a) I create a space in the web interface: visible in webdav, invisible in CIFS, even after umount/remount
b) I create a space in CIFS: visible in web interface and invisible in webdav.

This is a possible followup of my earlier trend. The crucial question is: is anyone else able to reproduce this extremely weird behaviour?

I have some more information: after randomly trying different scenarios, I abandonned the use of apache reverse proxy… and I go the correct behaviour (CIFS refreshing after the webclient change)

So here goes another question. Is my setup correct?

server.xml is:

<Service name="Catalina">

   <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
            maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
            enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
   
   
   <Connector port="8081" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
           maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
           enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
           proxyName="alfresco.mydomain.tld"
              proxyPort="80"/>
       
   <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
      
      <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
            directory="logs"  prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
                 pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
      
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" resourceName="UserDatabase"/>

      <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
         unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
         xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
      </Host>

      <Host name="alfresco.mydomain.tld" debug="1"
         appBase="webapps/alfresco" 
         unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false">
            <Context path="" docBase="" debug="1"/>
      
            <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
            directory="logs"  prefix="home_access_log." suffix=".txt"
            pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
      </Host>
   </Engine>
</Service>

and my apache proxy config is :

<VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerName alfresco.mydomain.tld
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPass         / http://alfresco.mydomain.tld:8081/
   ProxyPassReverse  / http://alfresco.mydomain.tld:8081/
   <Proxy *>
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
   </Proxy>
   ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/alfresco-error.log
   CustomLog  /var/log/apache2/alfresco.log combined
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
</VirtualHost>

All seems OK except this strange CIFS behaviour. What's the problem? Can anyone help?
