Where is the Database config in confluence 5.5

[ob-lawrence]

We have an old server running confluence 5.5.4 the firewalls that the server ran through have failed and there was no backup of the config for the firewalls. As such I intend to move this to AWS.

We have removed the server and managed to get access to it and get Confluence to run locally but don't have the admin creds for it. Because this was an inherited system, I have no documentation for it and need to get into Confluence to check the content is still there before moving this into AWS.

I don't know what kind of DB it is linked to and need a way to find out whether it was internal or external or using something else for authentication as when I try to follow Atlassian guide to recover admin components are not where they should be.

Hi @ob-lawrence ,

here is the documentation for Confluence 5.5: 

http://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/documentation/Confluence_5-5-0_AdminGuide_PDF_CONF55-050514-2301-28.pdf

You can find more about the database configuration starting with page 186.

Hope this helps.
