Confluence Spaces not visible with URL rewrite?

Scott Beeson

I have IIS setup to rewrite subdomains to JIRA and Confluence.

• tasks.domain.com -> domain.com:8080
• wiki.domain.com -> domain.com:8090

I've been using JIRA for days like this without problem.  Today I installed Confluence and all was seemingly fine.  I've been going through some configuration and playing around without trouble.  Then I tried to view the demo space.  I got a 404.  So basically:

 

domain.com:8090/display/ds/Welcome+to+Confluence <-- Works fine

wiki.domain.com/display/ds/Welcome+to+Confluence <--- 404

For now I kept the base URL as domain.com:8090 so it will automatically point to a working URL, but I really want to know how to fix this.

It was actually due to the + (plus) character in the URL.  I had to enable "allow Double Escaping" in IIS.  All is working now!
