Cannot open confluence using port 8443 using SSL
Asked by Andrew Balmer:

Hello,

I have recently installed Confluence and I am trying to access via port 8443 using SSL certificate and it seems to not access the base URL.

This is my connection string in F:\\Confluence\\conf\\server.xml location

\<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"  
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"  
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"  
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"  
clientAuth="false" sslProtocols="TLS" SSLEnabled="true"  
URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass=""  
keystoreFile="F:\\Confluence\\conf\\Confluence_Keystore.keystore"/\>

I can access my base URL using port 8090 and localhost:8090 but not on 8443.

When doing 'netstat -ano' I cannot see port 8443 being advertised, however Confluence service is running

Could someone help me what could be the issue here?

What is the format of the keystore?  
Is it in PKCS12 format?  
Then also enter: keystoreType = "PKCS12"

Are there any error messages in the atlassian-confluence.log?

atlassian-confluence-7.6.X BUG
Asked by Netset:

Don't upgrade from any confluence to atlassian-confluence-7.6.X If you are using Synchrony collaborative editing.

I have a working confluence 7.4 with reverse proxy. after upgrading to 7.6.0

Synchrony doesn't start at all.

I have checked if the port is blocked: No. It is not, It is enabled in firewall

and doesn't used by another application.

I have installed the same confluence server on another server CentOS 7 (identical server and identical confluence server conf)

Confluence 7.4 is working well. then after upgrading Synchrony doesn't start.

Is it Apache or reverse proxy issue: No. It is not, because I stopped Apache and navigate to the server using IP-address:8090, there is no other application on the new server. there is no firewall on the new server.

instance health says everything is ok. log analyser says nothing about error.

How to add 2 branches to LDAP Base DN
Asked by Libor ?m?d:

Hello,

I would like to ask for hel with LDAP connection settings in confuence.

There are two branches in our LDAP, where are users that needs to be add to the confluence:

OU=Users 1,DC=company,DC=ad

OU=Users 2,DC=company,DC=ad

Is it possible to somehow add these branches to the field Base DN?

Or how to set the connection to search users in these two branches? Currantly, the value in the Base DN field is DC=company,DC=ad, but there are some troubles with duplicate users in this whole scope (temps and so on).

Thank you in advance.

The workaround is to create multiple user directories and assign the base DN to each user directories.

About the duplicate users, you can utilize the [ldap filters](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/how-to-write-ldap-search-filters-792496933.html?) to ensure that you're not synchronizing temps.

HTML Export shows sometimes ID sometimes Site Header+ID
Asked by Marco Resch:

Hello everybody,

first of all i tryed to find a Solution for my Problem with the Search Option but this was not successfully.

For an RPA Projekt i must Download so specific Part of a Wiki as HTML export.

This Problem is solved and works as designed.

Now i am facing to another Problem. (Screenshot)

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104920i4607181CE1587C42/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Some of the exported Files only show the ID for Exampe "456690287".

Some other Exports Shows. Titel/Header of the Article + ID for Example "ATP-issues_408798487"

Can someone explaine or share a Documentation what setting must be changed and where to get Title+ID in the Export?

Target is to export the HTML?s to a folder, read with RPA the Name and match the name with a List from anoter System to see what Documentation is Missing and as you can imagin with only an ID i am lost.

Hope that i explained my Problem right. So that you can follow me, otherwise ask me.

Answers:
author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi Marco, had you considered using an app for your HTML exports? I'm not sure of the configuration that you would need for the native Confluence exporter but with our (K15t) Scroll HTML Exporter app, you can easily configure the filenaming option that would fit your requirements. For instance, you can set the Page title + Page ID for your exported pages from Confluence within the export options (see below):

![Screen Shot 2020-07-31 at 11.04.38.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/105072i230D22462B213CFC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-07-31 at 11.04.38.png")

There are also additional options for the handling of whitespace and special characters within the filename should they also be required. If you're interested and want to test the functionality mentioned, you can evaluate the app for free from the Atlassian Marketplace for Confluence Server - you can [see our listing here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/420604/scroll-html-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

Page Not Found when published
Asked by Rob Eastment:

We've created a new space within our site and want to make it publicly accessible - I've gone through the space permission, made sure there are no restrictions on the page itself.

The page appears in the search on our site, but when you click the link you get a 404 Page Not Found.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Rob,

Thank you for raising this with us. I want to understand the scope of the issue you're having. From what I understand, you've created a new space in Confluence, added a page to it, and now when you try to access the page directly, you get a 404 error. Is that right?

Can you tell me, are all of the pages within the space having the same issue? Are you able to confirm that the other users on Confluence are having the same issue, including the site admins?

Lastly, does the space or page names have any special characters or were they created under any unique conditions that would cause this to occur?

Take care,

Shannon

Atlassian Confluence Synchrony launch errors using quick start cloudformation stack (2018)
Asked by ashleyg:

We have atlassian provided quick start cloudformation stack (2018) that spins up confluence and a separate synchrony when you run the stack. For some reason the synchrony node launch config when it tries to spin up a separate synchrony node, it exits due to the below :- XPath set is empty It gets to as far as executing the /etc/init.d/atl-init-synchrony service and then under the below snippet from that entire service script, it fails with xpath set is empty  

    function waitForConfluenceConfigInSharedHome() {    atl_log "=== BEGIN: Waiting for confluence.cfg.xml available in shared home folder ==="    while [[ ! -f ${ATL_CONFLUENCE_SHARED_CONFIG_FILE} ]]; do          sleep ${ATL_SYNCHRONY_WAITING_CONFIG_TIME}          atl_log "====== :   Keep waiting for ${ATL_SYNCHRONY_WAITING_CONFIG_TIME} seconds ======"        done        SYNCHRONY_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY=$(xmllint --nocdata --xpath '//properties/property[@name="jwt.private.key"]/text()' ${ATL_CONFLUENCE_SHARED_CONFIG_FILE}) >> ${ATL_LOG} 2>&1    SYNCHRONY_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY=$(xmllint --nocdata --xpath '//properties/property[@name="jwt.public.key"]/text()' ${ATL_CONFLUENCE_SHARED_CONFIG_FILE}) >> ${ATL_LOG} 2>&1        while [[ -z ${SYNCHRONY_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY} ]]; do            atl_log "====== :   Could not load value for jwt.private.key will wait for next ${ATL_SYNCHRONY_WAITING_CONFIG_TIME} seconds before reload ======"            sleep ${ATL_SYNCHRONY_WAITING_CONFIG_TIME}            SYNCHRONY_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY=$(echo 'cat //properties/property[@name="jwt.private.key"]/text()' | xmllint --nocdata --shell ${ATL_CONFLUENCE_SHARED_CONFIG_FILE} | sed '1d;$d')        SYNCHRONY_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY=$(echo 'cat //properties/property[@name="jwt.public.key"]/text()' | xmllint --nocdata --shell ${ATL_CONFLUENCE_SHARED_CONFIG_FILE} | sed '1d;$d')        done        atl_log "=== END: Waiting for confluence.cfg.xml avalaible in shared home folder ==="}

Since this script is auto generated by the stack and all of this is auto stack driven without any manual intervention, i am trying to figure out what is it that its doing that it can't complete the stack successfully.  
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Hyperlink issues when copying and renaming a page in Confluence
Asked by Chuck Gee:

Hello community,

I am asking for help relating to the use of links within a Confluence page. I am very comfortable at the basics of using anchors and links within a page, as well as creating links to pages within the same space and pages in different spaces. My question has to do with the behavior of the links when a page is copied and renamed to create another version of the page, such as when a newer version of the information is being created but is largely based on the existing page. I would like the links in the copied/renamed page to point to the anchors also in the copied/renamed page so I don't have to go through every link and update them to point to the anchors in the newly copied/renamed page but the way the links are behaving currently, when I copy and rename a page the links point to the anchors in the original page. Although I can see where that might be desired in some cases, when creating a copy of a page to update I need the links to point to the copied page, not the original page.

For example, I have created page 1.0 that has many links to different areas of the page such as "...for more information, refer to DETAILS..." with the word "DETAILS" set as a link to an anchor further on in the page that has more information the reader may be interested in. At the end of the "DETAIL" section, I have another link "RETURN TO..." that allows the reader to easily return to the spot in the page where they were before selecting the "DETAILS" link. The "RETURN TO..." link is associated with an anchor I have placed near the area where the reader was originally in the page.

OK, when new information becomes available, I want to create page 2.0, so I copy page 1.0 to the same space and then rename the copied page to page 2.0 After publishing page 2.0 I begin the modifications with new information but the links that are now in page 2.0 still point to the anchors in page 1.0 instead of the anchors in page 2.0. Yes, I could rename and modify the original page 1.0, turning that page in to 2.0 and the copied page would become the older page 1.0, but the links in page 1.0 still point to anchors in page 2.0 and that is a problem due to possibly changed information related to a particular anchor.

The links in Confluence did not always behave this way. I have many pages created last year (in 2019) where the links in the copied pages would be pointed to the anchors in the copied pages, which is my desired link action.

I am happy to provide samples from the View Storage Format or Source Editor of a line from an earlier page with the link stays connected to the anchor within the current page, and the exact same line from a page where the link stays connected to the anchor within the previous page, if that would be helpful.

I hope this makes sense to anyone reading this very long explanation and request for help. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their thoughts/experiences/suggestions.

These emojis are placed inside of a Notes panel but they behave the same way in the general body of the page.

Will a space export include a page created after the export was initiated? In a way, yes, but it isn't good.
