Hi,

i want to try Confluence and installed a fresh CentOS 7 Server without X Server.
All requirements are installed.
I am executing "atlassian-confluence-6.5.0-x64.bin" and the following message appears:

# ./atlassian-confluence-6.5.0-x64.bin
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Nov 10, 2017 4:44:34 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$2 run
INFO: Created system preferences directory in java.home.
Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.
*******************************************************************
You can also run this application in console mode without
access to an X server by passing the argument -c
*******************************************************************

If i execute "./atlassian-confluence-6.5.0-x64.bin -c" he doesnt seem to get the "-c" and i get the same error again.

How can i start the setup explicit in console mode?

YAY!  This solution solved the problem for me on CentOS 7.4.  Didn't need all of X or ipv6.

my problem is solved.  In my System the Hostname (FQDN) and reverse DNS are not the same (etc/hosts too) 

IPv6 must be NOT disabled totaly. the java will not work without ipv6 stack.

after fixing the naming settings, the console setup starts automatically and runs without failures.

This is quite a difficult one to deal with.  When I use the -c flag, it asks questions in plain text and runs all the way through.

I'm on a pretty much off-the-shelf Ubuntu install.  What OS are you on?

Hi Nic,
as written above: I am using CentOS.
I am now thinking about using Debian just for testing confluence - which isn´t a real solution to the problem.

Switching distribution is not the solution.

I suspect you're missing something like ncurses on CentOS, but the -c flag is failing to tell you what it needs beyond a gui.
