Change the base url to web adress

[Jens_Gwerder]

I want to configure Confluence Server to the following web adress: "confluence.mywebadress.com"

I already created the subdomain in my web Hosting Panel. The database is also running over the web Hosting.

Right now its still running on the localhost and I already configured the base url under General Configuration in Confluence and also tried to edit the Server.xml file.

This is what I tried: <Context path="confluence." docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">

Unfortunately this doesn't work and I already looked at some other posts about this but neither of them worked for me. (Firefox says: "Error: Connection failed")

I also checked my anti Virus program (kaspersky) if the ports 80 & 443 are opened and also port forwareded these ports on my router.

PS: I dont use any proxy or similiar.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Hi @Jens_Gwerder , 

In order to access your confluence instance through confluence.mywebadress.com, you need to add the Proxy details given below in server.xml file.

proxyName="confluence.mywebadress.com" proxyPort="443" scheme="https"

For more information, please visit the Atlassian KB article

Thanks,

Kiran.

I'm not sure, that Jens is using a proxy or wants to...

Jens, you should try:

<Context path="/" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">

Best
