Running Windows 10 as the ADMIN on my personal laptop.

Oracle JDK 8u181-windows-x64 installed in folder C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_181
PostgreSQL 8.4 installed and pgAdmin III running.
Jira Server (6.3.15) is running/accessible at localhost:8080
Confluence Server (5.10.9-x64) is installed, but will not start when I navigate to http://localhost:8090/confluence (or http://localhost:8090).

The error is:

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

Search Google for localhost 8090 confluence

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I updated the server.xml file so that the SERVER/ENGINE/HOST/CONTEXT/PATH value is:

Context path="/confluence" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"

I cleared Chrome cache.

I tried Incognito mode.

I tried IE.

I tried uninstalling Confluence and reinstalling Confluence.

I tried rebooting.

All roads lead to this error.

Please help!

I found and resolved the problem... I had a silly typo in the server.xml file. I corrected that mistake and was able to log into and configure Confluence successfully.

Hey Shawn,

The context path in the server.xml file is where the application server will be listening. Since it's set to /confluence in the example you've pasted, it's likely that the address you'll need to use is http://localhost:8090/confluence - give that a try with Confluence started and see if it serves up.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks, Daniel, but that did not work. Neither http://localhost:8090/confluence nor http://localhost:8090/ work. Same error.
