author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Kumar,

use the tar.gz. This is the one for Linux.

You can't run an exe file in linux. There are .sh-Files that will do.

Please read the installation guide for the 3.5 - Version here:

I think, this will help you.

When i am trying start the confluence service getting below error.

Failed to start confluence.service: Unit confluence.service not found.

Please suggest the solution


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You have not created a systemd init file for it. The tar install can't do that for you, you have to do it yourself.

When you start it manually though, is it ok? There's no point trying to create the systemd stuff unless you know the installation works.

body: **Hi Nic,**

**Where can i create system init file. Please suggest location or path**


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: See <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd> as an example. Most distributions document something similar.

I have configured confluence 3.5 successfully. Installed MySql database server. Now i need to mount my old database sql file(wiki.sql) to confluence 3.5.

Please suggest the way to mount hte sql file.


author: Venkat Kumar
body: Hello All,

please suggest that which mysql version is required to restore database to confluence 3.5..

Thanks in Advance..

body: See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/Supported+Platforms> (I point you there rather than answer because I suspect you're going to have more environment questions and that answers a lot of the ones I'd be asking)


author: Venkat Kumar
body: Hey Nic,

Can i go through 'mysql-5.1.72-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz'.

I am new to environment. Please suggest.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I don't understand the question. You need to install the database driver as documented in the 3.5 installation instructions.
