Install Confluence on a new server

[Nikos Kalafatis]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to transfer Confluence to a new server. I have a backup of my DB that is in version 7.5.2. 

What should we do to make it work?

The best way to do this is:

• Create a new, empty database
• Install 7.5.2 on the new server and point it to the empty database
• Make sure that runs ok, just for the default admin user you create
• Stop the new install
• Overwrite the new database by restoring the backup over it
• Restore the attachments directory on the new server
• Start Confluence again
• Log in as an admin
• Go to the indexing and kick off a full re-index
