I think this goes against what you are saying in the above text but, I just got
a reply from the alfresco mailinglist. Here is what was said:
The way we got around this was to just tell tomcat to deploy Share at / (ROOT)
as well as at /share. To do that, we added the following line to the very end
of our tomcat server.xml file (5 lines from the end, just before the line
reading “</host>”):
<Context path="" debug="0" docBase="share" />
I don’t know if that’s exactly the right way to go about it, but it’s worked
well for us for about 4.5 years now.
I still have a concern with this as we have other sites that we need to access
at the http://domain.tld level and it seems to me ( I could e understanding his
solution wrong) that above solution will point all http(s)://domain.tld
requests to /share. Am I misunderstanding his solution?
