How can I redirect websites to new based URL ?

Question

I have changed Confluence based URL to a new URL and renewed its certificate, I also updated the database to replace old URL with new URL.

Majority of users have links pointing to the old server (https://spc.am.local ) which is not secure. How can I let users get redirected to the new URL(https://spc.am.com.au) when they click on old URL ?

I have added ALIAS CNAME but I do not think this was enough.

Thank you for your help

Hi @Mark El Khoury ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

You should be able to do that on reverse proxy (Apache, NGINIX). It is not a configuration that you need to put within Confluence.

Apache : https://linuxize.com/post/redirect-http-to-https-in-apache/

NGINIX : https://linuxhint.com/nginx-redirect-http-https/#:~:text=Redirect%20HTTP%20to%20HTTPS%20version%20for%20Specified%20domain%20in%20Nginx&text=connections%20specified%20domain.-,Server_name%20domain%2Dname.com%20www.domain%2Dname.,HTTPS%20version%20of%20the%20site.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
