page tree macro not displaying in newly made pages (but works fine in existing pages)

[Amaan Akram]

Hi

Just trying to figure out why the page tree macro has stopped working. It works fine in the side bar, and all existing page trees work. I just can't seem to make new ones. If I add the macro by pressing the "+" button, I see a preview window where it displays correctly. But then when I click "Insert", nothing gets added to the page.

Same happens if I try using {pagetree...} style syntax. Existing Page Trees work fine, like I said earlier. But if I edit a page with those page trees, they show up as broken images when the page they live in is being edited.

Everything else works fine, like creating and editing new or existing pages. Just Page Tree, or Page Tree Search and any other functionality related to Page Tree is not.

What has changed recently is this:

Moved Confluence from one server running 6.7 to another server running 6.11.0

Paths to confluence-home and confluence-install and $JAVA_HOME are different, but files in the right places have been updated

Content from the previous site was copied using the Backup & Restore functionality

Have you come across something like this before?

thank you

Can you confirm that each of those spaces have a home page set, and try Rebuilding the Ancestor Table and see if that helps?

In addition, you can check the Confluence Server logs and see if any error messages come up when you attempt to add the page tree macro.

Thanks Shannon. In the end I found out that my Minimal CentOS 7.4 install was missing libXp-devel

Can this be added to the documentation? Seems it is only needed for a Minimal installation

Hi Amaan,

I believe you might have run into a similar issue which is caused by the same issue that causes Exports to PDF broken due to X11 library.

The issue seems to be from the missing AWT Library. Although the error message asked to check that Headless mode is enabled, this is actually already enabled by default in the*setenv.sh of standalone Confluence distributions. The conclusion here is that the problem is called by the missing X11 libraries.

A missing resources for the JDK, specifically libXp.so.6 from the deprecated X11 rpm.

With the linked page Confluence UNIX and X11 Dependencies.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon
