I use virtual hosts for serving my Confluence.
First, httpd.conf is below:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wiki.MYDOMAIN.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
And server.xml is below:
<Connector port="8090" redirectPort="8443" ... />
<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false">
<Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true" useHttpOnly="true">
Finally, confluence's base url is
http://wiki.MYDOMAIN.com
and my web browser's url is also that is.
In this situation, there is no warning message on 'Server Base Url' in General Configuration, but when I go to 'Plugins' section, then the server which running confluence loose connection for a while. But weired thing is when I approach using ip(http://ip:8090) and changed base url with that then there is no problem. works great.
What's wrong with me?
