JIRA and Confluence on same server, can only access JIRA through browser...

[Markus Fredén]

Hello!

My name is Markus Fredén, I appreciate you taking time reading this! 

The problem I have is that I cannot access Confluence through the browser using my domain + context path (http://mydomain.com/confluence), I can only access it via lan IP + port. However, I can access JIRA through (http://mydomain.com/)

I get the 404 skull;

Oops, you've found a dead link.

This is what I'm using;

Ubuntu Server v18.04

PosqreSQL v9.4.14

Java v1.8.0_144

Apache v2.4.25

JIRA Software v7.3.4

Confluence v6.3.3

Port 80 is allowed through router fw and DNS settings are in place. And for what it's worth I did not have to forward any ports for JIRA (e.g. 8080).

ufw is off.

proxy_http module enabled:

2enmod proxy_http

Set context path and also added this:..

 proxyName="mydomain.com"
 proxyPort="80"
 scheme="http"

...to my confluence server.xml

<Server port="8000" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
 <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
 <Connector port="8090" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" maxThreads="48" minSpareThreads="10" enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8" proxyName="mydomain.com" proxyPort="80" scheme="http" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" />

 <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">

 <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" startStopThreads="4">
 <Context path="/confluence" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">
 <!-- Logger is deprecated in Tomcat 5.5. Logging configuration for Confluence is specified in confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -->
 <Manager pathname="" />
 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve" threshold="60" />
 </Context>

 <Context path="${confluence.context.path}/synchrony-proxy" docBase="../synchrony-proxy" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">
 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve" threshold="60" />
 </Context>
 </Host>

 </Engine>
 </Service>
</Server>

This is my Apache site conf (/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf):

<VirtualHost *:80>
 # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
 # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
 # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
 # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
 # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
 # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
 # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
 #ServerName www.example.com

 ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html
 ServerName mydomain.com

 ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyVia Off
 ProxyPreserveHost On

 <Proxy *>
 Require all granted
 </Proxy>

 ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://mydomain.com:8080/

 ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8090/confluence
 ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://mydomain.com:8090/confluence

 # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
 # error, crit, alert, emerg.
 # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
 # modules, e.g.
 #LogLevel info ssl:warn

 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

 # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
 # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
 # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
 # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
 # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
 #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

Also tried adding a new apache site conf like this (With same value as in 000-default);

a2dissite 000-default
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/new-site.conf
a2ensite new-site.conf

What could I have missed? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Markus Fredén

Hi Markus,

Note: this might not answer your question but just provides a recommendation :)

Please note we do not recommend running JIRA and Confluence together on the same server. Refer to the doc at https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf57/installing-confluence-and-jira-together-701435562.html

Thank you

Bhushan

I actually got this working in another thread that I posted because I thought that this one didn't get posted.

Anyways, here is it;
