Hi @Oday Rafeh ,

Welcome to Atlassian community .

Yes, the above url did not work for me either and you are hitting a non archived version. Also, the sessions come with a token and expires after a period of time. Could you please try the below its working fine for me. 

wget https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/atlassian-confluence-7.13.4.tar.gz

I hope the above info helps. Have a good day!

Thanks,

Srinath T

@Oday Rafeh , did the download complete fine ? What is the size of the file and you are able to unzip the file without any issue ?

[Oday Rafeh]

Every thing went fine thanks for your help and sorry for my later response

@Oday Rafeh , I can not open the above URL. Looks like you have not pasted the right URL?

[Oday Rafeh]

I checked it is still IN MODERATION but I can explain it here 

I run the upgrade from 7.13.4 to 7.18.1 on Node 1 and the software started on this Node with no issues - after copying the file to node 2 using this command 

rsync -av user@IP:/opt/atlassian/confluence /opt/atlassian/

the files are copied but are still cannot start the service in the Node 2 

and I am getting errors and I think because in Node 2 the java OpenJDK version is 1.8.0

and in Node 1 ( where the service is running ) the java OpenJDK version is 11.0.

So if this is the problem How I can upgrade the JAVA Open JDK in Node 2?

@Oday Rafeh  to make sure the session is valid. You can actually start fresh download on your browser and copy that url and try download.
