Get Confluence working on a subdomain

Philip Deubner

Software properties:

• OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (with PLESK installed)
• Webserver: Apache 2.4.18
• Confluence 6.3.1

 

Dear all,

I simply try to get Confluence working on a subdomain like sub.domain.tld.

To do so, I read the documentation and the community forums.

After doing so, I felt ready to start.

What I did was to

1. Create an A-name entry for the sub-domain in the DNS
2. Add the subdomain to /etc/hosts
3. Install Confluence
4. Create a config file under /etc/apache2/confluence with the entries, where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my IP-adress:

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80>
    ServerName sub.domain.tld
 
	ProxyRequests Off
	
	# Auth changes in 2.4
	<Proxy XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX>
		Require all granted
	</Proxy>

	ProxyPass /synchrony http://<internal_domain>:8091/synchrony

	<Location /synchrony>
		Require all granted
		RewriteEngine on
		RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} ^WebSocket$ [NC]
		RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} Upgrade$ [NC]
		RewriteRule .* ws://domain.tld:8091%{REQUEST_URI} [P]
	</Location>

	ProxyPass / h ttp://domain.tld:8090/
	ProxyPassReverse / h ttp://domain.tld:8090/

	<Location />
		Require all granted
	</Location>
 
</VirtualHost><code></code>

• Enable the new site
• Change server.xml according to this documentation (add proxy name, proxy port and scheme)
• Restart Confluence 
• Restart Apache2

Unfortunately, this does not help me.

When entering sub.domain.tld in a browser, I am redirected to the PLESK "standard" webpage. Only entering the port 8090 will allow me to enter the confluence webpage.

Any ideas from your side?

Thank you in advance,

best regards,

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-:

Thank you for your support. This was - unfortunately - only a problem in this post.

The "real" lines are

ProxyPass / http://domain.tld:8090/

ProxyPassReverse / http://domain.tld:8090/

Any other idea on what might be wrong?

Thank you in advance.
