Pointing confluence to new database (postgres)

Mike St. John

I am having an issue locating the config file in confluence for the database.  we created a copy of our confluence app server as a test environment (did similar for JIRA) so that we can test software updates, etc.   

I have created a test database (postgres) on the same database server as the production environment.  But I'm just trying to locate the file i can update the database info.  From what I've read, it would be in this file confluence.cfg.xml.  but when i do a search for it on my confluence app server.....the file is not present either on my test env. or on my production box.

The file should be in the "confluence home" directory.  For example, I have

charlie@zen:/opt/data-conf$ ls -l
total 92
