Error settting up confluence to connecto JIRA

Question

I have a separate stand alone JIRA instance.

In the setup screens on step 4 Setup user management I am getting the following error: This is not a valid url for JIRA 4.3 or later.

I can take URL and put it in the browser on my confluence server and have no problems.

Also note that if I put an invalid user in I get an error on the user, but if I have a valid user I still get the URL error.

This issue was caused by the windows firewall on the Confluence server blocking the port that Confluencew was on. This prevented JIRA from connecting back to Confluce.
