author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You must have unique page names in a space.

There are a couple of addons you can get that enable a form of duplicated space naming, but I'm not sure you need all the other functions they provide.


author: Davin Studer
body: Unfortunately, you cannot have two pages with the same name within the same space. You would have to split the customers into separate spaces or make the page names unique.

Editing a table, when I enter text is disappears on save.
Asked by Jeannie Kobert:

When I place text into a table, I can't see the complete text when I save the document. At some point in the line it places a "pencil" icon and the rest of the text is hidden.

confluence https problem
Asked by Timothy Harris:

We have been running confluence 5.6.3 over http. Now we find that we have issues with the Office connector when not running over SSL.

I wanted to test this on our sandbox instance, which has no DNS name, I followed the instructions here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF56/Running+Confluence+Over+SSL+or+HTTPS>

If I enter the URL like this "https://\<IP ADDRESS\>:8090 I get an SSL connection error: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

When I generated the self signed cert I entered the IP Address when asked for "first and last name".

Could this be the problem?

I generated my keypair/cert like this:

> keytool -genkeypair -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore /var/atlassian/atlassian.keystore  
> Enter keystore password:  
> Re-enter new password:  
> What is your first and last name?  
> \[Unknown\]: \<REPLACED\>:8090  
> What is the name of your organizational unit?  
> \[Unknown\]:  
> What is the name of your organization?  
> \[Unknown\]:  
> What is the name of your City or Locality?  
> \[Unknown\]:  
> What is the name of your State or Province?  
> \[Unknown\]:  
> What is the two-letter country code for this unit?  
> \[Unknown\]:  
> Is CN=\<REPLACED\>:8090, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown correct? (type "yes" or "no")  
> \[no\]: yes
>
> Enter key password for \<tomcat\>:  
> (RETURN if same as keystore password):

In the above I have replaced my actual IP with "\<REPLACED\>".

My server.xml looks like this:

```
&lt;Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" SSLEnabled="true"URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass="MY_PASSWORD_USED_WHEN_GENERATING_KEYPAIR"keystoreFile="/var/atlassian/atlassian.keystore"/&gt;
```


Answers:
author: RVal
body: HTTPS connection goes to port 8443 and not to 8090. In the document you mentioned look at step 4:

Step 4. Change your Confluence Base URL to HTTPS {#toc-hId-1649200001}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. In your browser, go to the Confluence Administration Console.
2. Change the Server Base URL to HTTPS. See the documentation on [configuring the server base URL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF56/Configuring+the+Server+Base+URL).
3. Restart Tomcat and access Confluence on `https://<MY_BASE_URL>:8443/`.

Did you try to connect to https://\<MY_BASE_URL\>:8443 ?

comments: author: Timothy Harris
body: I re-read the documentation and cam to the same conclusion. Works now. Thanks for the answer!


author: Timothy Harris
body: P.S. I have also tried generating the keypair/cert based just on the IP maddress without the port number, which is I am sure the correct way to do this. No difference.

Flash player only working when auto-play selected
Asked by adrien k:

Hi,

I am trying to put a flash player in the page, the player works only if I check the "auto-play" if not, the video does not appear at all....

what should I do ?

thank you

best regards


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hi Adrien,

It sounds like your Flash Player does load unless you allow it to. Since the auto-play would start the video immediately after accessing the page, it would trigger the flash to get activated.

Can you let me know which browser and O.S you're using? Also, can you confirm if it happens with any other browsers?

how to work with embedded hsqldb in confluence
Asked by jayasri:

Hi Iam working with confluence 5.6.5 version.

I have connected to embedded hsqldb using DB visualizer and cretaed tables.

using the sql macro I tied to get the contents of the table into my pages but is asking for datsource name insql macro.

Where I need to configure the datasource name in confluence.?

Please help me out


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm not sure that HSQL provides a datasource that can be used by Tomcat.

However, I would not bother looking further.

You should not be using HSQL for anything other than a bit of development or testing. If you're in dev/test and trying to get the SQL macro to work, that's fine, but irrelevant because when you move to production, you won't be on HSQL. So you should get your dev/test system hooked up to an appropriate test database to do your dev in a production-like environment.

If you're using HSQL in production, you need to forget the macro and work on your most important task - converting to a supported database.

comments: author: jayasri
body: Iam currently using 30 days trail version. It is not for production purpose.Please let me know how can I get the values for the embedded hsql datbase in to the pages?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: My instinct is still to tell you not to bother. If you're writing in dev for eventual production use, you should be using the target database.But, if you insist on wasting your time, I think you can do it by following the instructions for mysql, but replacing the mysql driver class with "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" and the url with jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.

Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]

How can I edit or delete a page containing a redirect?
Asked by Helen Gosper:

I want to delete a page that has a redirect on it, that redirects instantly, making it impossible to access edit mode. Is there a way around this?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: First trick to try is to get the browser to supress the redirect. Get the url of the page you want to edit and paste it into a text editor/box. Then add ?redirect=false to the end of it, and paste the new url back into the browser. That should now render the page without jumping to the target.

If that fails, then the next trick is to find out the ID of the page (there are several approaches to that, you may already have it in the url - if not, then tell us and we'll dig out some of the options), and go to \<your confluence base url\>/pages/editpage.action?pageId=xxxxxxxx

comments: author: Helen Gosper
body: Thank you so much. I had tried using that addition but had tried directly in the browser, not in a text editor first. Worked perfectly!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No problem, it's a bit of a faff if you try to just add it, hence the text editor usage.


author: michael_schlotfeldt
body: I ended up with an endless loop after moving a page. The page causing the redirect only had a page list macro on it and it referenced a page that no longer existed. The suggested solutions did not help in my case, but helped point me to a solution. In case other people happen upon this thread with a similar issue. Try going directly to editing the page and then simply remove the content. Then save. To edit use this URL:

<https://plaudit.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XXXX/pages/edit/XXXX>

The first "XXXX" is the space ID being edited, and the second group of "XXXX" is the page id.


author: Ed Randall
body: ?redirect=false didn't work here.

How do you find that pageId when the page is a redirect?

The answer given at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-get-confluence-page-id-648380445.html> suggests to edit the page...  

**Solution** : Copy the page URL (from the left-side navigator, copy link) and in the browser URL type: **view-source:** \<paste page URL\>  
In the source, search for **pageId=**


author: Davin Studer
body: You could use the WebDAV plugin to get at the page and then either delete it there or edit out the redirect macro.

Can I have different spaces in Confluence Questions?
Asked by Christian Kern:

Hi,

Is it possible to create different spaces or departments within confluence questions?

Error unzipping file (This may be due to a large zip file): invalid entry size (expected 0 but got 157686065 bytes)
Asked by Matthias Schouten:

Hey Guys,

I have to upgrade Confluence from a Oracle 11g to Postgres.

I got a XML Backupfile from the Oracle instance but when I try to upload it to the Postgres instance, i get the following error:

Error unzipping file (This may be due to a large zip file): invalid entry size (expected 0 but got 157686065 bytes)

The file itself is 650 MB zipped. Unzipped 4,x GB. I had no issues to unpack it on my local machine. Neither on Windows nor on Linux. So the File itself seems to be fine. The Server itself has enough RAM to cope with the Backup file (12gb).

I also tried to unpack the zip file locally (windows) and on the server (linux) and zipped it again. But got still the same error just with other diggets (expected 124555354 but got 567755 bytes).

Any suggestions what I can try to get this XML backup up and running?!

cheers,


Answers:
author: Clinton Metu
body: I know this is old and you may not need help with this any longer, but I had this exact same error and the issue was that my backup was owned by root, and not the confluence user. After I changed the file ownership of the backup to the confluence user, the restore went through just fine.

Comment section being defaced in IE9
Asked by Vitor LC:

Hi.

I am having a strange behaviour in two spaces on the comments section. It is taking to long to be shown after the click (about 30 seconds) and when it is active all the buttons are defaced, as I illustrate below.

image2015-2-18 9:50:48.png

I don't get any errors on the log and I cannot really place when or after what this started happening, but it was ok before. We just got this issue on the second space last week (in production) and it was working fine before.

We are using Confluence 5.5.2 with Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox ESR 31.4.0 (on this one everything is ok). It works on the most recent versions of IE, so I think this problem is specific to 9.

Is this known to you?

Thank you.

body: Hi. Sorry for the late reply.

We upgraded Confluence to version 5.6.6 and we don't have that issue any more.

Just not to leave your questions unanswered, in case you meet someone else that might have the same problem:

1. there were no browser errors on those pages
2. it was on everyone's IE9
3. we are using the RefinedWiki Original Theme with a custom design on our application. It is applied to all spaces, but only those two had the problem and it was on every page.

Thank you.


author: Brian
body: Hey there Vitor, is there anything special about the two spaces that exhibit this problem? For example, do they have a custom theme? If so, does disabling the theme have any effect?

Also, does every page within those spaces exhibit the same problem?

Is there any tool that can help to generate report from data sources...like jasper?
Asked by Pratik Patel:

We have need to display custom generated report from complex SQL queries.

Is there any way to achieve this?. Any other tool to generate report from database.

or source code availability for archived jasper report plugin


Answers:
author: Pratik Patel
body: Thanks Steve,

I already gone through all four pluing you stated, there are matching to my requirement at half way, there plugins help me to configure data source and let table data to be rendered on confluence page.

But my requirement is that I should be able to generate report format, not just table format. where can change data source and report will for generated in specific format..

like Jasper reporting plugin where we can specify data source, design report format and display it. but this plugin is achieved.

Yes, I have installed

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.reporting>

and checking what I can do with this plugin. :smile:

comments: author: Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]
body: I think, if you go back a little bit from the jasper way, and try to achieve your goal with the tools listed above, you can find a practicable way.If you really need jasper, use jasper reporting server and embed it with an iframe ;)
