Windows confluence server does not start with Access Confluence
Asked by Kai-Uwe G??ner:

Hello,

I tried to login recovery_admin but confluence does not start - connection refused localhost:8090

what to do next?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kai-Uwe,

Welcome to Community, it's nice to have you!

* Can you let us know a bit more about what you were trying to do?
* Is this a new Confluence installation, or was it an existing instance that you are suddenly not able to access?
* What version of Confluence are you running?

If you are getting a Connection Refused error, it seems like it could be an issue with your firewall or proxy.

* Are you currently running behind one?

Thank you for any information you can provide! Happy to help you determine the cause of this issue.

Regards,

Shannon

I can't able to get "Test Execution Process" Macros in confluence
Asked by kedar:

I can't able to get "Test Execution Process" Macros in confluence .Please let me know how to get these test macros.

Thanks,

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kedar,

Thank you for contacting us.

I'm not familiar with the macro called **Test Execution Process**. Could you let us know where you saw that?

I think there's a possibility that it might be part of a 3rd party add-on from [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com). However, I wasn't able to find anything like that even available for Confluence.

If you can show us where you read about it, we can help to track it down for you.

(Brikit) How to use the 'Open Link in New Window' Macro
Asked by Shakir Islam:

Hi all,

I tried adding a hyperlink into the macro and pressing select, however it doesn't open in another tab and I am unable to edit the label of the link.

My aim **is to press one 'hyperlink' and have confluence open two new tabs.** If anyone has another method of accomplishing this, I am all ears (or eyes I guess).

Thanks for your help.


Answers:
author: David Muzii
body: Hi all,

I know this discussion is old, however I find myself with the same issue with the Brikit macro. It's appears to be very straight forward to implement but I , too am unable to get it to work with several browsers (Google Chrome as my primary). I have noted that new tabs will open while in 'preview' mode but not function after saving.

I have disabled PopUp blockers but this did not help. Of course you can just right click on the on the link and select **open link in a new tab**, I am trying to implement this feature to make the page user friendly per requirements.

Might anyone have had any success with this macro more recently? Please forgive me if there are other discussions that have answered this question and have not discovered yet.

Thanks in advance!

Create Confluence Page via REST API (Bad Request)
Asked by renatogbp:

Hi,

I am trying to create a new page under a space using the following code in nodejs:

```
var jsondata = { "type": "page", "title": "My Test Page", "space": { "key": "TEST" }, "body": { "wiki": { "value": "h1. Hello world!", "representation": "wiki" } }};

router.get('/content', (req, res) => {
 axios.post(`${confluenceRootUri}/rest/api/content`, {
    headers: { 
        'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        "Authorization": "Basic " + Buffer.from(username + ":" + password).toString('base64')
    },
    data: JSON.stringify(jsondata)
 }) 
 .then(response => { 
    res.send(response.data); 
 }) 
 .catch(error => { 
    res.status(error.status || 500); 
    res.send(error.response.data); 
 });
}
```

However I am getting the following bad request:

```

      ],
      successful: false
    },
    message: "Could not create content with type null",
    reason: "Bad Request"

```

I also have tried the example from the website in python but it gives me syntax error

```
curl -u admin:admin -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"type":"page","title":"new page",

turn off email notification for watched pages/posts in confluence?
Asked by Abdullah Malikyar:

I need to turn off email notifications in confluence without having to "Stop Watching" a page/post?

I still want to receive notifications in the confluence notification section, just not in my email?

please advice how do i do that?


Answers:
author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: You can fine tune your email preferences in your Profile Settings (click your avatar, Settings, and select Email under Settings). This will eliminate a lot of the messages you receive.

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Abdullah Malikyar
body: I unchecked all the settings in that section, but yet i receive email notifications when somebody updates the page/post i am following/watching? so how do i turn off emails entirely so that i can only see the notifications inside confluence?


author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: Hmmm. You'll probably need more feedback on this. I'm an admin, and I get a lot of email from Confluence regardless. I have rules setup to move some of it to another folder for later review, and some just gets deleted.


author: Abdullah Malikyar
body: I don't like to stop watching the pages as i still want to be notified as the pages get updated, just that i don't want to be notified in my email, the notification center of confluence itself will do just fine.

Is there anyway to add filter to a table based off a jira filter without using table filter macro?
Asked by Kevin Lin:

Is there anyway to add filter to a table based off a jira filter without using table filter macro? I want to add a filter to a report/table so that we can filter based off fix version or epics. Doesn't seem like we can without the table filter macro which my company does not have.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kevin,

Welcome to Community! It's nice to have you.

I believe you're referring to using a combination of the [Jira Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-issues-macro-139380.html) and the 3rd party add-on called [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Is this correct?

Filtering table content in Confluence is not an available feature, so if you are using the Jira issues macro, you would need to create a separate JQL filter for each version or epic you want to filter.

Otherwise, you would indeed need to use a 3rd party add-on such as the one you mentioned.

I hope that clarifies things but do let me know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Shannon

Hide "all updates" feed in a Confluence space
Asked by Michael Woffenden:

We have two spaces that are public ... but we do NOT want to show the All Updates section.

How do we hide this?

NOTE: We are *not talking about the sidebar links*. We are referring to the actual content. The latter is what we want to hide. See attached image for details.

I tried the solution and it worked great, hiding All Updates for anonymous users.

But it's not a complete solution. Navigating to "Pages" still shows the recently updated list.

Anyone have any ideas on how to hide this from anonymous users?

comments: author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

there is an addon for customizing the Confluence home/start page for users \& user groups. It's call Custom Dashboards for Confluence. This might be a solution for you.

You assign anonymous users any Confluence page you like \& they see this page without sidebar.

Response 403: Could not create content with type page
Asked by Borja Bruno:

Hi all?

I am having a 403 response when a Python code tries to create a child page in Confluence.

We are using the following Python code that runs daily in Jenikns at 7.15 that creates a child page with our daily tasks so the team can tick them.

```
page_date = date.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
due_date = page_date

page_title = 'operations_daily_tasks_'+ page_date
space_key = 'TO'
ancestor_id = 7475431


```

```
task_list = [
    {"task_id": "1",
     "task_text": "Download List of Shorts from Matrix - See: ",
     "task_link": '"https://cygnus-am.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OP/pages/46628871/Locates+Request+MS"',
     "task_link_text": "Procedure",
     "task_due_date": due_date,
     "task_user_id": users['borja']
     },
    {"task_id": "2",
     "task_text": "Check the Web Portal - See: ",
     "task_link": '"https://cygnus-am.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OP/pages/1078853868/Check+the+Web+portal"',
     "task_link_text": "Procedure",
     "task_due_date": due_date,
     "task_user_id": users['borja']
     },
```

```
page_data = create_task(page_title, space_key, ancestor_id, task_list)

```

```
r = requests.post('https://cygnus-am.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content',
                  data=json.dumps(page_data),
                  auth=('admin', 'THE PASSWORD'),
                 headers=({'Content-Type':'application/json'}))

```

I have checked that the problem is not coming from space key, ancestor id neither task_list.

I think it is related with auth. This code was created by I worker that left the company.

Please note I am Admin in Confluence and I have permissions for creating, editing and deleting in any space.

Any help is appreciated as I am desperate to have this issue solved.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Borja,

From reviewing your very detailed steps and python snippets everything looks to be in order, and the fact you're getting a 403 message means you're very close. 403 for Confluence cloud mean two things are possible:

* The space that the content is being created in does not exist.
* If the requesting user does not have permission to create content in it.

I did notice within your POST call that you have Password specified. To clarify, you should use an API token instead of a password. If you're not already doing this, please see the following to issue yourself an API token: [API tokens](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html).

The other issue could be an issue with the space the content is to be created in. Please ensure the SpaceID or Space Key is accurate and does belong to the space. Since you've already checked this then this may not be the issue.

Please do let us know if one of the two reported issues helped to resolve your page creation problem.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ulrich,

Welcome to Community. It's nice to meet you.

I assume from your screenshot that you might be using Confluence Cloud. If so, this **Former User** you are seeing is because of GDPR, which means the user has had their information deleted from our systems.

It is not possible to change the author of a page, but we have a feature request for it below:

* [CONFCLOUD-7247](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-7247) *Ability to change the author of an existing page*

As it's not possible to change the author of a page, the solution would be to copy the content onto a new page, which will set a new author for it.

**If you are not on Confluence Cloud**, and you are on Confluence Server, then it is possible to modify this directly in your database:

* [How to Change the Creator of a Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-change-the-creator-of-a-page-720830744.html)

If you choose to perform this step, please be aware that we do not support database changes of this type. We recommend that you make a full site backup and a database backup before making such changes.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Shannon

How do I edit the mobile view for my confluence blog?
Asked by Sajad:

I have made some design changes to our current help site. It looks good on Desktop, but I don't want these changes necessarily to affect the mobile view too much.

Team Calendar is not updating to Google Calendar

Thank you for contacting us about this.

Can you tell me, how long after adding the events are you checking the calendar? It appears that there is a known issue with sync times and Google Calendar according to our documentation:

* [Subscribe to Team Calendars from Google Calendar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-google-calendar-273285887.html)

> Google Calendar refresh times are delayed. They range from 3 hours to 24 hours. (More information: [TEAMCAL-458](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TEAMCAL-458?_ga=2.248461703.1294575221.1558945229-1483961444.1556008674)).

If 24 hours passes and your events are still not displaying, then I would recommend you raise a support ticket with our team: [Contact Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact). I believe you might be on Confluence Cloud, so if this is the case, then we will be able to look at your logs and see if there is an issue there. If you are on Server, please let me know your Server version for both Confluence and Team Calendar.

Thank you and take care!

You can take a deeper look on the Chart Macro here:

Currently, we do not have a way to set a different default graph style for the macro.

Confluence Update from 6.3.1 to 6.15.4 failed
Asked by Sebastian Koesters:

Hi,

today i tried to update our linux Confluence Installation from 6.3.1 to 6.15.4, which failed.

The update said, i hava to take care of the server.xml myself. Since the "more information" Link (<http://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/docs-6.15.4/Upgrading+Confluence#UpgradingConfluence-custommodifications>) is broken, i just took the old server.xml file.

With the "new" or the "old" server.xml i get an Error 503 when trying to go to the confluence webpage.

I then checked the logs, where i only found:

```
[Thu May 23 14:34:35 2019] [error] (111)Connection refused: proxy: HTTPS: attempt to connect to 10.10.150.226:8443 (confluence.xxxx) failed
```

I then started confluence manually in the foreground. I then noticed this:

```
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/atlassian/confluence/conf/confluence.keystore (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.

```

and this:

```

```

at the beginning of the update i noticed:

```
Added files:
confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j-diagnostic.properties
conf/confluence.keystore
conf/server.xml.back
```

funny thing is, that "confluence.keystore" is nowhere to be found on the whole server (the update said it was successful).

Since my colleagues needed access to confluence again, i did a rollback.

What do i need to do here?

Thanks and best regards

Sebastian


Answers:
author: Jobin James
body: When you perform an upgrade, confluence will creat the backup of /opt directory and remove this completely and reinstall from the installer. So you need to take the backup of your modified files before performing the upgrade.

Or you can leave the entire configuration as it is and configure an Nginx proxy for the HTTPS.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeap/running-confluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-849150880.html>


author: David Willson
body: Looks like the keystore file was deleted when the upgrade ran.

You will need to copy that file back to the server after the upgrade.

The keystore file is a java thing that holds your certificates and is needed when you configure Tomcat to do SSL (https).

The path where the keystore is found is in the server.xml file.

EG - /opt/atlassian/confluence/conf/
