Migrated Confluence instance is sending users to the old instance

[Seth Howard]

I put in the new server address and it brings up the old instance. Confluence server and database were migrated to new servers. I have no idea what is redirecting to the old instance.

http:\\localhost:8090 does the same thing.

Looks like it had something to do with the old cert that copied over from the old instance.

Have you configured an auto-redirect or context path in server.xml?
(Was server.xml copied from your old install?) 

As a general rule you should not copy server.xml as it will vary based upon the version you are moving to/from. If you are migrating from a like-to-like version you can copy it but it's best practice to make the modifications against a fresh server.xml.

There are a variety of resources for this, but I'd suggest reading:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html

The most obvious way to determine this is your root cause is to back up your server.xml and replace it with the packaged server.xml which you can get from a .zip version of your install available here:

The migration was like-to-like. I see no references to the old server, only LOCALHOST in the server.xml. I will back up and replace it as you suggest and see where that gets me.

Thanks

The generic server.xml gives me the same result.

That is interesting, the only thing I can think of (there are surely many other reasons) is if there is a rogue/obsolete DNS entry.

Instead of http:\\localhost:8090
Try accessing

http:\\your.ip.address:8090

[Seth Howard]

Same result.

Thanks for the suggestions.
