This thread is getting kinda messy so i am going to snip a bunch of stuff and answer your latest info.
>So mod_proxy is loaded but you don't want to use it to access alfresco, >instead just mod_jk, right? Then don't use any ReWriteRule with the [P} >flag or any Proxy... directive. No, if this can be done with mod_proxy, i would prefer to do that. I have been unable to get mod_proxy working so users type http://share.domain.com and get the required results (which is http://share.domain.com/share) >Assume all static images, css, js are in some /path/to/my/folder/static >and there's nothing else underneath it, that folder would be a place to >publish directly via Alias in Apache. OK >I'm guessing here: what you want is that the request for >http://share.domain.com should be forwarded to the Tomcat web >application names "share". Exactly >For that I would put the following directives into the Apache >VirtualHost that actually serves the request. >- Add a redirect for the URI / to /share/ to the Apache config: >RedirectMatch ^/$ http://share.domain.com/share/ >- Forward all requests that point below /share to Tomcat and let them be >served by the webapp: >JkMount /share|/* myworker >- Remove other JkMount, Alias etc. Here is the modified virtualhost file: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName share.domain.com #RewriteEngine On #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/share/ #RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on #RewriteRule ^/. http://share.domain.com/share/ [P] JkMount /share|/* worker1 RedirectMatch ^/$ http://share.domain.com/share/ <IfModule mod_jk.c> # The following line makes apache aware of the location of # the /jsp-examples context #Alias /share "/opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/share" #<Directory "/opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/share"> #Options Indexes FollowSymLinks #allow from all #</Directory> # The following line mounts all JSP files and the /servlet/ uri to tomcat #JkMount /servlets-examples/servlet/* ajp13 #JkMount /share/*.jsp ajp13 # The following line prohibits users from directly accessing WEB-INF #<Location "/share/WEB-INF/"> #AllowOverride None #deny from all #</Location> # if not specified, the global error log is used ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domain.com-access_log combined </IfModule> </VirtualHost> >At this step: >- do not try to serve static content from Apache, first get this to work >before adding the additional complexity. >- do not try to make the webapp /share/ directly available under the top >level directory.

If you really need to do this, then use >mod_proxy, not mod_jk. Doing the above, does that take care of what you stated here? >Don't use this configuration.
