Hi Joe,

Have you modified your server.xml file at all from the original configuration? It appears there's an issue with the way it is configured.

Can you look at it and find anything that starts with <Connector? Please share that with us and we can see what the issue might be.

Kind Regards,
Shannon

I did modify server.xml when I was trying to get confluence to work to https

Can you send me an orginal unedited server.xml?

Nevermind I restored a backup. Now I'm getting this error:

Hi Joe,

Does the /opt/atlassian/confluence/webapps/../confluence/WEB-INF/lib/confluence-rpc-plugin-6.4.1.jar file exist, and does the Confluence user have access to execute it?

Can you let me know what version of Confluence you are running?

Kind Regards,
Shannon

I just updated to the latest version to try fix the issue so 6.4.1

However I am getting the SETUP page again. Can I skip this? When I try to enter my MYSQL connection info I get this error now:

Problem with MySQL storage engine

Your database needs to use InnoDB as the default storage engine.

How do I fix this

brandaid

I checked and my tables are InnoDB. However this isnt detecting that

Hello! For all who googled here by the same search tag:

i`ve got the same problem and the solve is easy

just remove rubbish data tags in desired connector string

<Connector port="8090" secure="${catalinaConnectorSecure}" scheme="${catalinaConnectorScheme}" proxyName="${catalinaConnectorProxyName}" proxyPort="${catalinaConnectorProxyPort}" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"
maxThreads="48" minSpareThreads="10"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
scheme="http" proxyName="<subdomain>.<domain>.com" proxyPort="80"/>

As you might see there are doubling scheme proxyName and proxyPort entites , so i`ve just deleted first one and edited last one
