App Link: "No response was received from the URL you entered"
Asked by Mohammad Inamullah:

Hello,

I am trying to link Confluence Cloud with my application for OAuth. When I enter the server name, and click "Create new link", I get the following error:

Screen Shot 2015-05-06 at 11.49.51 PM.png

Why am I getting this? How can I setup up my server so I do not have to manually configure the consumer key/name and public key? I am running Apache Tomcat on the server.

Thanks.

body: Hello Mohammad,

Thank you for your question.

* The application must be accessible via either port **80** or **443** .
* If you want to use SSL, you must use a valid certificate (**not a self-signed certificate**).

Please, refer to [Linking to server applications from your cloud instance](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Cloud/Linking+to+server+applications+from+your+cloud+instance) documentation for further information.

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.

comments: author: Mohammad Inamullah
body: Hello Rafael, thanks for the answer. I had seen that in the Confluence cloud documentation. I can confirm that I have port 443 open (port 80 is shutdown), and I have a valid SSL issued by an issuing authority. So I was surprised that I got the error. I'm guessing I need some sort of manifest file or something else for Confluence cloud to pull in the consumer key/name and public key; I don't want to have to do this manually. Any thoughts on how I can go about this?

Read Only Users in Confluence
Asked by Richard Jones:

Hi All

We currently have a 100 user licence for confluence but am thinking of expanding this wiki out into the rest of the company. There would be more than 100 people accessing it but they would be all read only. I wouldnt want them to edit. Is it possible to give anonymous access to confluence (no log in read only access)

Thanks


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hi Richard,

Yes it is possible to give anonymous access to Confluence. Please see this documentation to understand how to achieve it: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+Up+Public+Access>

Eduardo


author: Kay Brown
body: Yes, under Space Administration permissions, you can grant view permission to anonymous users.

author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: Yes. Only users with accounts count on the license. Anonymous access doesn't count.

Is there a way to rename the Blog?
Asked by Mel Aclaro:

I'd like to rename "Blog" to "Project Log." (It's sort of related to a change management thing we're doing to win hearts and minds for using Confluence on our project.)

Is there a way to do this?


Answers:
author: Manuela Schwendener
body: The term "Blog" is built in to Confluence. However, you can [Configure the sidebar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configure+the+Sidebar) to hide the default "Blog" shortcut and add a custom shortcut named how you like it. Also, you can make a custom home page for the blog using the [blog post macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Blog+Posts+Macro).

comments: author: Manuela Schwendener
body: Doing this works (thank you), but you lose the display of the blog posts per month in the sidebar.

Can a user be a Confluence Administrator ONLY and not an across the board site-admin?
Asked by Matt Krusemark:


Answers:
author: Andre Borzzatto
body: The *confluence-administrators* group is not a group accessible to Cloud customers, it's a group designed to Atlassian Cloud Support, as it configures a System Administrator level of permission over the application.

If you want to restrict access to JIRA, like Paula mentioned, then you would have to configure the Global Permissions on Confluence so a different group (maybe a new one), aside *administrators* also have Confluence Administrator permission granted.

If you need further guidance on setting users and groups on Confluence, please refer to the following:

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Managing+Global+Permissions>

I hope it helps!

If you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks!

comments: author: Robert Massaioli _Atlassian_
body: This is the correct answer (1) Create a new group. (2) Inside the Confluence Global Permissions screens give that new group admin permissions. (3) Add users to the new group as you please that you want to be Confluence only Administrators.


author: Davin Studer
body: Well, if you are on Confluence Cloud technically you are not a full admin. There are certain things that only Atlassian can do. Not totally sure what you mean by Confluence Administrator vs Site Admin. But have you looked into the difference between Space Administrator and Confluence Administrator. A Confluence Administrator can do everything a Space Administrator can do and more. A space administrator can only do admin function related specifically to that space. So, you could create a group called Space Administrators and add that group to the Space Administrator role for every space. Then just put people into the group. Is that what you are asking?


author: Paula Silveira
body: Hi Matt,

If you mean you don't want the user to be an administrator on jira, you can add him to *confluence-administrators* group and remove from *administrator* and *site-admin.*

Thanks and regards,  
Paula Silveira

comments: author: Matt Krusemark
body: There is no "confluence-administrators" group. And if I add a new group, there is no way to set permissions for it that I can tell that would be specific to just Confluence-level administration. Thoughts?

searching for page content
Asked by Michael Bond:

I'm not able to find specific page content in my searches. I'd like to find table entries, words or phrases in paragraphs, etc. Is it possible to search for that type of page content?


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Michael,

In addition to Davin answer, you can also search for Confluence pages having an specific word by running a select query in the BODYCONTENT table like the example below:

```
select c.title from content cjoin bodycontent b on b.contentid = c.contentidwhere b.body like '%&lt;word_to_search&gt;%';
```

Just replace the \<word_to_search\> from the query above and run.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Storage capacity of cloud based instances of Confluence and Jira > 100 users

Can you confirm:

* Are there any storage capacity limits applied to cloud based instances of Confluence and JIRA - licensed up to 100 users for each.
* If there is a limit, how is it possible to get visibility of what storage capacity has been used/what's left.

Many thanks,

I don't think there's yet a way to monitor your usage. Atlassian definitely had an issue open to enable it in your my.atlassian account somewhere.

ATTACHMENTDATA table growth
Asked by Suganya Sebastian:

I'm using confluence 5.6 on MYSQL, my queries ( insert/update) are slow due to ATTACHMENTDATA table ( since size is \~200G), Is there any recommendation to speed up transactions querying ATTACHMENTDATA table?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Take the attachments out of the database and put them on local storage instead.

You'll need to do that in the long run anyway - attachments in the database will not be supported soon.

comments: author: Sam Hall
body: Hi Nic, can you point out for me where it says that Atlassian are moving away from storing attachments in the database? That's a bad move from my perspective and it's going to make life so much harder to maintain reliable backups. Currently we have the ability to do point in time recovery using Oracle features. Moving the files to the file system's going to make a mess of that.


author: Sam Hall
body: Never mind, I found it... <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Attachment+Storage+Configuration>Bad news indeed.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: My understanding is that putting the attachments in the database was a kludge from the start, a way to try to get Confluence Clustering to work. It makes the databases far too large to be usefully backed up as soon as you get to a medium/large system and it's unweildy in terms of the things Confluence tries to do with attachments. Backups (incremental or full) of a file system are far better for static blobs of data such as attachments.

Opensource Project Hosting

Link to attachment in another page
Asked by Deepti:

Hi,

I have a link on page A to an attachment that is on page B. When I create a new version of the attachment in page B, page A link still fetches the old version of the attachment. Which is, the version of the attachment when the link was created. Why is the latest version of the attachment not being picked up?

How does your link look like? If you go to the attachment list of page B (click the clip icon in the title), you can expand:

Here you can access the URL of any version, including the current one. I tried it, if you link to the current version and later update the attachment, links from other pages will point to the latest version correctly.  

(Prior to Confluence 4 there was a [nice solution](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/Linking+to+Attachments) for this problem but now it seems not to work any more.)

How to add restrictions in a page template
Asked by Natalie S_:

Outside of using the workflows plugin, is there a way to set a space page template to automatically be restricted to a certain group of people upon page creation? The idea behind this is to allow the page to be reviewed before the wider audience seeing. There will be about 300+ people adding how-to pages, so trying to explain page restrictions/workflows to them is not realistic. We want them to be able to create a page, have it automatically be restricted until a core team is able to review and then unrestrict it. We don't need any more formal of a workflow process than that.

author: Username
body: This might be a bit too late, but I dont think there's an inherent capability to do so.

Might be possible to create a custom plugin to do so, but that would involve getting our hands dirty and writing code.

Upgrade Confluence 5.6.1 from Win7/HSQLDB to 5.7.3 Srv2008/MSSQL
Asked by Fritz Hirschegger:

Hello Community !  
I want to Upgrade/Install from Confluence 5.6.1 running under Win7 and the embedded HSQL to a Win 2008 Srv with MSSQL database. We have a 10 user license and about 400 pages with 28MB attachments. It is a small installation yet. So, should I

* Upgrade my existing installation 5.6.1 to 5.7.3 on the Win7P

<!-- -->

* backup the old data as XML backup

<!-- -->

* Install 5.7.3 on the Srv and create a naked SQLDB

<!-- -->

* restore the data into the fresh installation

Do I need a developer license on the new Srv during the swap ? Or is there any other easier way ?

Thank you for your help !!  
Fritz


Answers:
author: Fritz Hirschegger
body: Thank you Chander for your answers. Do you know if the jdbc bug is resolved with the new 5.8.4 Version ? We really really have to do the update in the near future :smile:


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Fritz,

I do recommend to switch first to a supported database because using HSQL DB in production is not advised. Since the instance is small, try to use the XML backup to import into the 2008 server and MSSQL DB using the **exact same version** as the production.

After the migration has been done, proceed with the upgrade. Be careful of this bug in 5.7 when using jdbc MSSQL Database. You need to switch to datasource to perform the upgrade and change back to jdbc afterwards.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-36484>

You can use the evaluation license to create the staging instance. After you finish the migration, you can set the 10 user license in the new server. Just change the server ID in my.atlassian.com to reflect the new ID of the new server.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Rodrigo

comments: author: Fritz Hirschegger
body: Hi Rodrigo, meanwhile the actual Confluence Version is 5.8.4, and we found no time to do the upgrade, are your recommentations still up -to-date ? Is the jdbc bug gone with the new release ?

author: Chander Inguva
body: Hi Fritz,

1. Create a FULL XML backup of 5.6.1
2. Install 5.6.1 on Srv
3. Create an empty SQL Server Database
4. Restore the XML Backup of 5.6.1
5. Before Upgrading to 5.7.3
6. switch to from [jdbc to datasource](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+SQL+Server+Datasource+in+Apache+Tomcat).

   * After you set the new installation files of 5.7.3 to point your current \<Confluence HOME\> directory run the steps in this guide to switch from [jdbc to datasource](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+SQL+Server+Datasource+in+Apache+Tomcat).  
     **Backup all the modified files.**
   * Start Confluence again.
   * After the upgrade, validate if Confluence is working.
   * Shutdown the app and change back to jdbc.
   * Start Confluence again.
7. Hope this helps.
8. Please use 10 user license on Prod Server.

How to embed a Web page in a Wiki page.
Asked by sidhartha:

I want to embed a Web page in a Wiki page. I have tried using iframe and HTML macro. These macros work when the Web page is simple(non-content rich). However, for content-rich Web page, I am having difficulty in viewing the Web page. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The html macros are intended for snippets of html at best, they're not a complete rendering solution and they have to live within Confluence's own framework. Your html would have to be modified so that it can be rendered within Confluence.

The iframe is a better idea, as the page is then not being affected by Confluence's html. But again, your html has to be written in a way that suits the iframe.

I'm afraid the right solutions here are:

* amend your html to be confluence or iframe friendly
* link to it instead of try to render it
* extract the data from the other system and render it in confluence
