Problems setting up Confluence Server at https://www.mydomain.com/wiki

Nathan Wailes

Hi,

I've been using Confluence for about 4 years now, and I have a personal Confluence Cloud instance.

Yesterday I bought a license for a server-hosted instance of Confluence that I want to use for my DigitalOcean-hosted online business (https://www.rhymecraft.guru/).

I was able to install it and get it running, but:

1. It's accessible at the DigitalOcean server's IP address (http://XXX.XX.XXX.XX), but not at the domain name that points to that IP address (http://www.rhymecraft.guru).

2. I want the wiki to be accessed at a subpage at https://www.rhymecraft.guru/wiki, without needing to use a port number as part of the URL (so I guess that would mean making it work on port 443 for HTTPS).  I was able to get it working at http://XXX.XX.XXX.XX/wiki (so, not using SSH, using the default HTTP port 80, and being at /wiki, but using the server's direct IP address rather than my domain name).

• server.xml
• rhymecraft.conf

Hi Nathan,

If you already managed to get it running on the IP using port 80 and your context path it is most likely not a Confluence/Tomcat configuration issue but a proxy or domain name mapping issues.

Have you double checked that after changing server.xml to port 80 you got rid of the ports in rhymecraft.conf as well?

Best, Tobias
