Question about "/confluence"

[Pawel Beling]

Hello Everyone,

in our company we have a confluecne i version 5.4.3

Currently we are making upgrade in test environemtn to v. 7.10.1

Strange thing is that we have a reverse proxy via apache and when I am changing in Base URL "/confluence" on the end of IP Address confluence behave strangely is I cannot create a space and some macros are not woking.

has some of you had a similar problem after upgrade to Confluence 7.10.1?

Thank you in advance for help

I'm going to take a guess that you have forgotten to update the "Context" in the server.xml file.  A standard upgrade will overwrite it and make your system behave as you describe.

Could you give me a hint here? I only update path”” section with /confluence but what I must update in context section?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The path in the context must match the path in the base url and the path the proxy is serving up.

[Pawel Beling]

ok but i wrote only „path”which is /confluence so as you mentioned it must be also in context or only on path?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, the path in the context must match the path in the base url and the path the proxy is serving up.

You need to compare all three to find out which one (or two) are wrong.

Hello, Unfortunatelly problem still exist to have total explanation:

Base url: https://xxxx.xxxxxxxx.com/confluence

Server.xml context path: "/confluence"

Regarding hint which Nic gave to me, in server.xml context path should be also full  https as basic url? when I tried to do this confluence is not reachable.

In apache there is also full path like in base url.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, the context should be just the sub-path that comes after the server domain.  If, for example, you are on https://mydomain.org/confluence , then 

• Base url: https://mydomain.org/confluence
• Context in server.xml: /confluence
• Proxyname in server.xml: mydomain.org

I'm not sure what you are looking at in apache
