Answers:
author: Ross Lindell _Information Officer Pte Ltd_
body: I have seen this on two other Confluence instances we manage, specifically with PDF files. We spent quite a lot of time working with Atlassian, but Atlassian has not reproduced, so our service desk ticket, AFAIK has not been officially turned into a ticket for me to link to.

We are using Confluence 5.9.x in both cases, on Linux with MySQL.

You might try to go through the support process, and perhaps they can reproduce your problem.

Asked by Davor Fisher:

Has anyone had issues with PlantUML Diagram sending out notification emails for an upload versions for file to users even though no file was uploaded.

author: Dirk Michel
body: accordingly to this post it should be solved but it isn't. How to check for PlantUML version in the installation? We are using Confluence 6.9.1 and Jira.

This behaviour is still existing after having add an Export Name to the PlantUML diagram. Since I do not have add an export name nothing was send or in case I remove such a name the mail will not be send.

libawt_headless.so+0x493a Java_sun_awt_FcFontManager_getFontPathNative
Asked by Andreas_N??lein:

I'm running Confluence on Archlinux.  
And more often than not, I get this problem when trying to boot up confluence (with Oracle JDK):

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:  
#

I kinda was able to get it running in the past, with downgrading Confluence I think. But now I'm stuck again with this problem. I tried various Oracle JDK versions.  
OpenJDK does sorta work, in terms that it doesn't SIGSEGV and crash. It does however result in frontend-problems.   
Google doesn't offer much help :S

Any ideas would be highly appreciated. Thank you

body: I remembered now, that it was a problem with glibc, or glib2 or whatnot.. I tried downgrading without success. Eventually I created a docker container with CentOS to get rid of this problem another way.

Maybe our Plugin Space Tree Creator provides the functionality, which you are looking for. It supports the Macro STC Button where you can parameterize the space to copy and to create the page tree by search \& replace of the tags.

templates for comments in Confluence
Asked by Rodney Hughes:

can I create a template such that when anyone clicks to create/reply a comment, the comment text box opens up with a few dot points listed prompting the person to add certain key information before they continue with all their free text ... kind of like a set of fields on a form.

I don't mind if they can still delete the dot point prompts, but I need the prompts to start with.


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Thanks Nic

It is a bit odd I know.

we are using a Space in a conference to collect comments from Users ++and non-Users++ in the audience.

Users are obviously identified

but non-Users will have a generic login just for that day but of course they all use the same login so we need to prompt them to complete name/country/email ...

after that it is free text as far as Comments are concerned (no one can edit the main page)

Yes a simple copy and paste from the main page body is the work around :smile:


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'd need to alter the core commenting code to do that - there's a good reason comments don't have that functionality already, they're supposed to be free-form and unguided. If something is important enough to be guided, it generally should go on the page directly!

You might be able to hack something in for the whole page comments in the javascript in the global headers, but I doubt you'll get it into the in-line comments.

I have the Run CLI Actions and JIRA CLI Connector installed in my JIRA environment. Can I use the Confluence CLI or do I need a seperate license for Confluence?
Asked by Jeanne Howe:

I have tried running CLI commands within my Confluence environment and I am getting 'Connection Refused' errors. Is this a license issue? I thought if I have at least one of the plugins installed and licensed, I would be able to use the CLI in both my JIRA and Confluence environments.


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: No it is not a license error. You would get a license error, not a "Connection Refused". That error indicates a network problem getting to the service. The JIRA server must be able to access the Confluence server via the url you are providing - check that out from a browser running on the JIRA server.

Within JIRA, you should be able to run CLI actions against Confluence with no license on the target Confluence.

If you are still having problems, [open a support request](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/browse/JCLIP)with us.

comments: author: Jeanne Howe
body: Bob,

I have resolved the connection issue. I am now seeing a license issue.

We have the following plugins installed in JIRA:

Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons - Run CLI Actions in JIRA

Bob Swift Atlassian Add-ons - JIRA CLI Connector

I have no issues running CLI commands against my JIRA instance. When I attempt to run a CLI command against my Confluence server, it looks on the Confluence server for a license and I get the following error:

\*Client error: CLI connector is not installed or enabled on the server\*

I thought I only needed the CLI Connector on my JIRA server (one license covering both JIRA and Confluence). Do I also have to purchase a CLI Connector for Confluence?


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Yes, they are separate. To use a Confluence client you need to have the Confluence connector installed and licensed.
> Within JIRA, you should be able to run CLI actions against Confluence with no license on the target Confluence.

This means Confluence CLI actions used within JIRA (post functions or runner) can talk to a Confluence that does not have the connector.


author: Jeanne Howe
body: Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate all your help.

confluence "permission to delete from this space"
Asked by Bryan Collick:

Hi all,

I'd like for users of confluence 5.9.6 to be able to delete pages and move them from one space or location to another.

I found previous instructions which instructed me to go to Admin \> Space Permissions and allow users to delete a page. I've made that modification, but when I create a test account I do not see the option to delete in the three-dot dropdown; the option is available in an account with admin privileges.

Additionally, if I choose the move option in the three-dot dropdown the "New Space" field is grayed out. Below it is this error: "You cannot move this page to another space because you do not have permission to delete it from this space."


Answers:
author: Athirah Zolkefli
body: Hi Bryan,

When you said you navigated to "Admin \> Space Permissions" to allow users to delete a page, were you modifying the Default Space Permissions or the Space Permissions for that particular space?

If by some chance it is the former, any modifications you do wouldn't work on *existing* spaces. This is because any changes made there will only go into effect when you create *new* spaces. You would need to edit the Space Permissions for the particular space instead.

You can read more about assigning space permissions here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/assign-space-permissions-139460.html>

Regards,  
Athirah

comments: author: Bryan Collick
body: That's what I was missing. Thanks!


author: Aleks Yenin (Polontech)
body: Hi Bryan,

Deleting a space permanently removes the space and all of its contents. To delete a space you must be the [space administrator](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf56/confluence-glossary-658736827.html) for the space.Users with System Administrator permission can also delete spaces, including personal spaces.

comments: author: Bryan Collick
body: Hi Aleks, Thanks for your answer!

Your answer is correct regarding spaces. I'm not looking to allow space deletion; I want to allow page deletion and/or moving a page from one space to another. The error message when a non-admin user tries to move pages is "You cannot move this page to another space because you do not have permission to delete it from this space."
How do I search for text within links?
Asked by Sandy Johnson:

My company upgraded our version of SharePoint and in the process changed the URL. This broke all the links in Confluence (we are on version 5.8.13). I want to find all the instances of a link to our SharePoint sites so we can update the URLs. I have not been able to find a way because the search does not look at the link as text.. For example, the old URLs contained the letters MOSS. When I search on that I get no results even though I know we have 1000's of links containing those letters in the URL.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: I wrote a user macro for search/replace, which you could also use for links.

<https://streamline.atlassian.net/wiki/display/STRMLN/Search+and+Replace+User+Macro>

[](https://streamline.atlassian.net/wiki/display/STRMLN/Search+and+Replace+User+Macro)It operates much slower than the standard search, of course, since it has to step through all pages, but maybe it will be able to help. Since it also does replace, you might be able to fix it automatically :smile:


author: Robert Ortner
body: one way would be to search on database level using sql statements or you find a general plugin checking for valid externel links

no more ideas from my side

Overview over all spaces with activity
Asked by RuneKChristensen:

Hi.

I am about to migrate from Confluence on demand to a server solution and for this I want to get a list of all the currently registered spaces including creation date, owner and a timestamp for when the space was last modified.

How can I get this information?

Rune


Answers:
author: RuneKChristensen
body: The thing is that I want to do a partial migration or at least do a Deep cleaning/archiving of not used Spaces before I go live. For this I need to know the most recent acitity.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you do a full export/import as recommended in the docs, it will bring all of that across.   

I'm not aware of a summary report which will tell you any of that in one go. You usually have to go into each one in turn and look.

can I use confluence cloud under my domain or sub-domain?
Asked by Hakan Guzelgoz:

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is a way to setup Confluence Cloud under a subdomain or domain difference from the one provided.

Can you please help me on how to setup this?

Best regards,


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Currently, no: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-6999>

comments: author: Hakan Guzelgoz
body: Thank you. So in case of expanding or opening a knowledge center under a custom domain, can we do it using APIs? This would mean to re-design it?

what would be your recommendation?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not without a **lot** of effort in rewriting urls and proxies, or even just writing a new front-end for it and passing data over REST instead.

The recommendation at the moment is very simple - use the atlassian.net domain you chose, or migrate to Server and run the system yourself on your chosen urls.


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: One option might be to use the Instant Websites add-on for Confluence Cloud:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/instant-websites/cloud/overview>

Using this, you could push your Confluence as a static website to AWS, which you could then access from your own custom domain. I'm not sure, but it must be possible somehow even to have a link back to the original page somewhere, whereby others could still update the pages and leave comments/collaborate, if necessary. Not sure if it will work for your use case, but you might want to give it a try.

Answers:

author: Davin Studer

Why is Confluence Cloud export space not working for me?
Asked by James Little:

I've attempted multiple times to export one of my spaces to XML, HTML or PDF. I am the admin of my site and of the space.

Regardless of the file type I end up on a page that says it completed, however no file is available for saving or exporting. I've tried both IE and Chrome.

This is what I see:

No matter how long I wait it never seems to complete the export of the space and I only have 5 or 6 pages.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Password policy for Confluence
Asked by Kathy Taylor:

Apparently the Cloud version of Confluence natively has a password policy manager, but not so the non-cloud version. I only see one password policy plugin available and it it has mixed reviews with less than 50 installs. Does anyone know if a password policy is on the roadmap for future Confluence upgrades? Has anyone actually used that plugin with an internal directory and found it to work okay? Thanks!


Answers:

body: Hi Kathy,

I know this plugin [Enterprise Password Policy for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.intenso.confluence.plugins.confluence-password-policy/server/overview) very good and I can answer if you have any questions about it. You need to configure your own password policy and enable it. After it all users have to change their password once on first login (plugin can't check current passwords) and it works only for confluence internal users. It is easy to use.

Best Regards,

If you have the time it's a good idea to Vote on it (for the love of gosh please don't comment "+1"). If you could, Atlassian appreciates if you can comment your use-case for more detail.

Most people handle this external to Confluence. Other products are better suited to this ability for now.
