Confluence Installation

Fr0zt

Hello.

During Confluence installation, in the database connection screen if I choose "Microsoft SQL Server" , in the bottom, I have a field named "Instance Name".

- What is this field?

- Is it mandatory or can I leave it blank? The process goes on If I leave it blank.

Hi Hugo,

According to our Database Setup for SQL Server, that you have likely already reviewed:

Field: Instance name

Description: To find out your instance name, connect to your database and run one of the following:
select @@SERVICENAME;
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName');
If you have a default named instance setup in SQL Server, you won't need to specify this parameter.

I hope that clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

I read it now. Sorry I didn't notice that If I had default named instance SQL SERVER I could leave it blank.
