Asked by nibhakar singh:

Hi I have configured confluence Jira with atlassian jira yesterday. Both are on different servrs. It was working fine but since today morning confluence jira is not starting . My atlassian Jira server shut down last night and has up today morning. Need your help on urgent basis.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Nibhakar,

Could you please tell us what occurs in the Confluence error logs when you attempt to start it? Have a look at [Working with Confluence Logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html) if you're not sure where to find that.

Also, does Jira start successfully?

Regards,

Shannon

How to get JSESSIONID for Confluence?
Asked by carlocedriclijauco:

Hello,

Is there a way to get / generate **JSESSIONID** from **Confluence REST APIs?**

Currently, for all REST API requests we always pass **both username and password**

![1.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22273i00AF5F8AB95A70E2/image-dimensions/445x107?v=v2 "1.jpg")

Reference:

*<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/>*

---

**Is there a way to generate JSESSIONID once, then pass this token on succeeding calls just like in JIRA?**

Can the Confluence Team Calendar be Connected to an Outlook Calendar?
Asked by Manikanta:

Hi,

We recently upgraded to Confluence 6.0. Also, installed caldav plugin to my outlook.

But when i try to configure my confluence team calendar to outlook, I'm getting an error when testing the connection after providing username and password.

comments: author: Daniel Ballenger
body: Me as well. I've been able to get it to work using curl and forcing basic auth to be sent, but in packet dumping trying to add it to macOS, I see that the CalDAV server seems to be sending back:

WWW-Authenticate: OAuth realm="..."

Which seems to be the problem?


author: Daniel Ballenger
body: I have confirmed it's the problem. I'm running Confluence behind haproxy and used haproxy to remove the WWW-Authenticate header and then replace it with "WWW-Authenticate: Basic" and everything's working now.

Forgot to stop confluence when upgrading.
Asked by Saurabh Arora:

Hi,

I am upgrading my staging instance of Confluence from 6.5.2 to 6.8.2.

I extracted the tar file and ran command to start-confluence of new version. I forgot to stop confluence before running the start-confluence command of new version.

Now, my installation directory is also missing. I dont know if it got wiped out.

I am doing it for the first time. Kindly help.

Thanks,

Surbhi


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Surbhi,

Happy to hear you are upgrading a staging instance and not Production first.

It sounds like the upgrade may have succeeded. Did you edit the file \<Confluence_6.8.2\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties to point to your old Confluence 6.5.2 home directory before starting the new instance? If so, please check the atlassian-confluence.log in \<Confluence_Home\>/logs. The upgrade task entries in the log list a bunch of SQL queries then it should say something like "entire upgrade completed successfully", or else "upgrade failed" and a reason why.

If you ran start-confluence.sh (you mention a tar ball so I am thinking you're on Linux) without pointing the confluence-init.properties to the home directory of the old instance then the expected behavior would be that you would see the setup wizard in the browser when you access Confluence. It would not do anything to your old instance but your Confluence 6.5.2 instance may be running on the same port as the newly spun up instance. It shouldn't delete your Confluence 6.5.2 install directory. The old instance should be accessible if you run stop-confluence.sh on the newer instance.

One way to proceed would be to restore from backup or restore a snapshot if it's a VM and then try the upgrade again, while following [Upgrading Confluence Manually](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-manually-255363437.html). You could even try the installer method since you are going from a 6.x version to another 6.x version: [Upgrading Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html)

Best wishes,

Ann

auto discard draft changes in confluence
Asked by Sunny Wong:

I was trying to edit a page and when I publish, I get a warning that I will be publishing someone else's draft.

I think this 'feature' is fairly new as I never had 'issue' like this in the past 5 years using confluence. As a space admin, is there anyway to disable this new 'feature' that automatically keeping drafts?

If people make changes on a page, then leaving the page without publishing. It is OK for us to permanently discard those changes. Like the old days.


Answers:
author: testervn
body: Hi [@Sunny Wong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1249195)

You are seeing that warning because of the feature [Collaborative editing](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf60/collaborative-editing-852731396.html) is ON on your Confluence.

You should see [How Do Drafts Work on Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-drafts-work-on-confluence-938043306.html) here.
> Confluence version 6.0 or later  
> The Collaborative editing feature was first introduced in Confluence 6.0. When this feature is turned ON, Confluence autosaves both drafts and unpublished changes every 30 seconds as the default interval. Regardless if you were interrupted, navigated away from or accidentally closed the Confluence editor tab, your content is retained for you to resume editing when you're ready. If you would like to save your drafts or unpublished changes, click on the 'Close' button on the bottom-right of the editor and then choose 'Keep draft'.

Create multiple projects with common looks under one space
Asked by Wendy Rosky:

Currently our projects are in different spaces and not consistent.

I would like to create projects under one space and use templates to create projects.

It seems have limitation that cannot have the same name under different project hierarchy.

What I need is to build multiple projects: under the projects are: design specs, meeting notes,design team members, analog, digital,.....

How do I implement this and use templates to create a new project.

Thank you in advance for your help!


Answers:
author: Victor Mutambuki
body: Wendy,

To create projects, you'll need JIRA. To create spaces, you'll need confluence.

In confluence, you can't have pages or spaces with identical names. Each has to be unique.

The [tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1YTsMTrC7c) from atlassian would be a good start.

How do I HIDE table gridlines for one table using Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Sara Woodhull:

Answers:

Confluence Cloud won't let you mess with the look and feel - just colour schemes and logos.

If you want more power, you have to use Confluence Server. You can really do all manner of good *and bad* stuff using Server.

Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Eric Sampson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1391077)

do you want to add more columns to your already three even column format?

You can define the width of the columns by using the [Section macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/section-macro-51872531.html) and place [column macros](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/column-macro-51872396.html) within. There you can set width of columns in percent or pixel.

Also see [Page Layouts, Columns and Sections](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-layouts-columns-and-sections-275188613.html) in documentation.

how to get permission to restrict page editing

Answers:

Let me see if I understand right. You want to restrict from other user edit your created pages?

On the current page created by you, you may see a *padlock* at the bottom of the page.

comments: author: AnnWorley

> **Restrictions**   
> **Add restrictions** gives you permission to apply page-level restrictions to a page or blog post. You can restrict a page for viewing, or just for editing.
>
> **Delete restrictions** gives you permission to remove restrictions from any page or blog post.

> Each space in Confluence has its own set of permissions, which can be granted and revoked by a space administrator.

Using Page Properties Report macro for multiple spaces
Asked by TS:

I've set up Space 1, Space 2, and Space 3.

I need to display a page properties report in Space 1 that captures and displays info from Space 2 and Space 3. The page properties table includes columns for Project Name, Status, and Last Updated.

When I set the Page Properties Report up to capture info from pages within the same space, it displays as expected, but when I set it up to capture the same info from Space 2 and Space 3, only the Project Title colum is populated. Data from Status and Last Updated columns does not display.

Confluence Cloud - Can we add a defined template behing the Macro Option "Reporting" ?
Asked by Iuliana Burgi Jurj:

Hello,

We have currently created a Page Properties Macro in Confluence Cloud.

You can find the template here:

<https://uefawiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SOL/pages/74383374/Project+overview>

As we would like our Confluence users to use it, easily and fast, is there a way to add this table, in the drop down list of "Other Macros" "Reporting" section ?

The idea behind is that users should not build the Page Properties from scratch, but to click on this "Reporting" option and have directly the table with the skeleton already filled in.

Thank you for your help.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Iuliana,

For it to be part of the Macros menu it would need to be a [User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html) which is only a feature of Confluence Server.

As another option, you could either create a [Page Template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blueprints-and-user-created-templates-724764985.html#BlueprintsandUserCreatedTemplates-Createyourowntemplatetemplate_types), or use an add-on, such as [Smart Templates for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216556/smart-templates-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). You can get a free trial of that add-on in order to see if it helps accomplish what you require.

Let us know if you have any questions about that!
