Where is the Database config in confluence 5.5
Asked by ob-lawrence:

We have an old server running confluence 5.5.4 the firewalls that the server ran through have failed and there was no backup of the config for the firewalls. As such I intend to move this to AWS.

We have removed the server and managed to get access to it and get Confluence to run locally but don't have the admin creds for it. Because this was an inherited system, I have no documentation for it and need to get into Confluence to check the content is still there before moving this into AWS.

I don't know what kind of DB it is linked to and need a way to find out whether it was internal or external or using something else for authentication as when I try to follow Atlassian guide to recover admin components are not where they should be.

Remove an outer Expand macro without losing its inner expands
Asked by Jim Winston:

I have a section of code( I don't remember the exact markup but you get the idea) that looks like this:

{expand}

{expand}

(B) Expand text goes here

{expand}

(C) Expand text goes here

{/expand}

{/expand}

{/expand}

I would like to remove the outer expand, leaving the inner expands in place. Currently the only way I know to do this is to cut/paste the inner ones (lots, in my case) to the outside until the outer expand is empty and then remove the now-empty outer expand.

Any better ideas?

THANKS!!

Jim

author: Jim Winston
body: Bill,

This solution worked great. I was able to see the html code and make changes. It was a bit nerve wracking because of the complexity of the page (which is what got me into trouble in the first place...) but I figure that on this issue, I saved at least an hour or 2 over recoding the page using the normal wiki editor.

THANKS!

Jim


author: Bill Bailey
body: I use the source editor a lot:

* Sometimes to debug a page to see what exactly is going on.
* Other times to clean out div and span tags that get pasted in
* I user Regex for more complicated cleanup or replacement.
* A quick way to copy complex blocks, or as a quick way to move all the headings up one notch (when authors start with a H2 for example).

comments: author: Johan Soetens _Dumblefy_

*localhost* is a name for your *local machine* so on clients you'll have to use the hostname of your server.

If your clients can't reach your newly created Confluence *server* or you have a reverse proxy, please talk to your local Infrastructure teams ((DNS / Network).

Confluence is a web application, your clients can surf to your [*Server Base URL*](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-server-base-url-148592.html)

Not straight forward. You can use iframe to embed it. Or use a Confluence add-on that will let you create Excel style pivots based on Jira issues. More details here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-incorporate-JIRA-velocity-chart-in-a-confluence-page/qaq-p/308266>

Defalut theme not working
Asked by Xavier_Mora:

Hi there!

We just have installed Confluence (server version, starter something) and the Theme is not working. ?Any ideas why and how to fix it?

![Captura.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/57493iD514437F138EBE93/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Captura.PNG")


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

As I understand the situation Xavier, Confluence CSS styles are completely broken. This results in a bare HTML page when we access Confluence.

This can be caused by a few reasons, one of them is a *Problematic Java Environment Installation.*With this in mind, we could start by looking into your Java install and be sure that everything is correctly set.

We can take a dive into our *Supported Platforms* for Confluence, right here:
> * ***++[Confluence 6.15.x - Supported Platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html)++***

The link above leads us into the latest release for Confluence. You can select previous versions in the dropdown menu at the top right corner of the page.

Further into Java Installation, you can look into our guide on how to setup Java for Confluence:
> * ***++[Installing Java For Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-java-for-confluence-144212101.html)++***

If you used Confluence Installer for your setup, this should not be a problem since the Java environment comes bundled with it. However, if you used the \*.zip or \*.tar.gz files, you can take a look here:
> * [***++Installing Confluence on Windows from Zip File++***](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-windows-from-zip-file-144212170.html)
> * ***++[Installing Confluence on Linux from Archive File](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-linux-from-archive-file-255362363.html)++***

Now, if we have a proxy between your machine and Confluence, you can try *Bypassing The Proxy*, as described here:
> * ***++[How do I bypass a proxy to test network connectivity](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-bypass-a-proxy-to-test-network-connectivity-402031184.html)++***

Let us know your thoughts Xavier! Looking forward to your reply.


author: Xavier_Mora
body: Thanks Diego,

You are right, it was a Java installation issue, we solved it the day after by just fixing that.

Right now everything is online and working properly.

Many thanks

comments: author: Diego
body: Glad to know that your instance is now working as expected Xavier!

Release notes for Confluence 6.13.x are broken

I'm looking at whether to upgrade from Confluence 6.13.4 to 6.13.5

But all the release notes in that branch seem to have a Jira error

JIRA project doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it.

Clicking on the link gives:

**The value 'Confluence REST API' does not exist for the field 'project'.**

Portfolio plan sharing on Confluence pages
Asked by Renni Verho:

Is there another ways to share portfolio plans in confluence than iframe ?

iFrame is risky and another solutions should be available in 2019.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Renni,

Thank you for contacting us.

There is not currently a built-in functionality to integrate Jira Portfolio directly with Confluence, but we have the following feature requests that would interest you.

* [CONFSERVER-37712](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-37712) *Create a Confluence Roadmap from a JIRA Portfolio Plan*
* [CONFSERVER-37926](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-37926) *Integration between JIRA Portfolio and Confluence*
* [CONFSERVER-49099](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-49099) *Ability to integrate Team Calendars with JIRA Portfolio*

Please be sure to vote on the ones that you would like to see! You can also let us know there specifically which features you would like to be included in the integration.

As for a workaround, per the blog article [JIRA Portfolio Plans in Confluence Pages](https://almworks.com/blog/2017-03-jira-portfolio-confluence.html) from ALM Works, I believe that the add-on [Structure Project Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/34717/structure-project-management-at-scale?hosting=server&tab=overview) might be able to help you with this.

Otherwise, there is another add-on from [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com) called [Live Roadmap](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217024/live-roadmap?hosting=server&tab=overview) that has some kind of integration with Confluence and Jira that might translate over to Jira Portfolio.

I'm not too familiar with either add-on myself, but have a look at it and start a trial if you'd like to test it for your own organization. If you have any questions about those add-ons you can raise a question here on the Marketplace Apps collection, and the vendor may be able to help you with that.

I hope this helps, but do let us know if you have any questions!

Regards,

Shannon

Confluence Cloud: How to allow Full-screen in iFrame Macro
Asked by Rajan:

I embeded the Wistia player using the iFrame macro, but since the macro doesn't have an "allowfullscreen" option, I can't fullscreen the player. Is there a way around this?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Rajandeep and welcome to the Community!

There is a feature request to have Wistia support added to the Confluence product. We would suggest voting for and watching these requests to receive future updates. Here are the feature requests:

* [CONFCLOUD-35101](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-35101)
* [CONFSERVER-35101](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-35101)

Since you're using Confluence cloud there is not an option to add/edit HTML within your pages. So your options to allow for full-screen viewing while using an iFrame will be limited to what the iFrame is capable of. With this said, if someone finds this thread and uses server, here is the option to include the customization into your page: [Wistia \| Embed Options and Plugins](https://wistia.com/support/developers/embed-options).

I hope the information proves helpful and clarifies your options for using the iFrame macro.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

SSL setup in confluence data center
Asked by Dev Vinod:

Hi,

Iam trying to setup SSL for our Confluence data center installation in Azure. Have tried adding certificate as part of the installation step . Had given a CName , PFX key and the installation was successful but when I look at the public Ip address it still says Azure-generated DNS name ( conf-appgtwyip-xxxxxxxxxx )

The certificate has been installed successfully because when I try to access the url with https it gives a certificate error with my actual registered domain name.

The question I have is how do I get ssl to work while using Confluence Data center


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Dev Vinod](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3332675) ,

usually for Datacenter, SSL would be implemented on your reverse proxy / load balancer, with [Apache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/securing-your-atlassian-applications-with-apache-using-ssl-838284349.html) or [Nginx](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeap/running-confluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-849150880.html) for example.

It would be easier for you to setup as you won't have to deploy a certificate on all your nodes, only on your proxy server.

Let me know if you have any questions,

--Alexis

Confluence Workflow Reports
Asked by Teri:

I noticed that the Comala Workflow Report tool seems a little buggy. I was testing the default workflows on some pages and then I removed the workflow and I was prompted to check 2 boxes to remove any report history..etc. I would think that when you click the workflow report tool it would remove any history pertaining to those documents that I had just removed the workflow from, but it doesn't. Does anyone have any advise? I also noticed that there was no way to edit the items that were still showing on the report. I would also think there would be a way to delete line items from the report but I am not seeing anyway to edit that. Any advise here as well?


Answers:
author: James Conway
body: Hi Teri,

If you are still having the issue with the remove report history after re-indexing Confluence then please raise a ticket with us at <https://comalatech.jira.com/servicedesk/>

Regarding your follow up query on the difference between the workflow-sidebar and the workflow report macro: The workflow slidebar report lists all pages in the space that have a workflow applied, you can filter and add remove columns to see different information. The Workflow Report macro provides alternative views, you could use multiple Workflow Report macros to build a dashboard page.  

See <https://wiki.comalatech.com/display/CWL/workflowreport+macro> for more details.
