Confluence Start failed after configuring server.xml as described

[Michael Frank]

Hello,

confluence runs via docker behind a nginx proxy server. I can start the confluence server fine but receive the warning message:

scheme sollte 'https' sein
proxyName sollte 'OUR DOMAIN HERE' sein
proxyPort sollte '443' sein

which leads to the server.xml. Currently the Connector is configured (default) as follows:

<Connector port="8090" secure="${catalinaConnectorSecure}" scheme="${catalinaConnectorScheme}" proxyName="${catalinaConnectorProxyName}" proxyPort="${catalinaConnectorProxyPort}" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"
maxThreads="48" minSpareThreads="10"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"/>

If I change the Connector as requested by the warning message to:

<Connector port="8090" secure="${catalinaConnectorSecure}" scheme="https" proxyName="OUR DOMAIN HERE" proxyPort="443" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"
maxThreads="48" minSpareThreads="10"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"/>

, confluence server is not able to start anymore. The last log in /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/logs/atlassian-confluence.log before the process dies is this:

2019-04-24 14:43:36,577 WARN [lifecycle:thread-8] [hql.internal.ast.HqlSqlWalker] generatePositionalParameter [DEPRECATION] Encountered positional parameter near line 1, column 93 in HQL: [FROM com.atlassian.confluence.impl.schedule.caesium.SchedulerClusteredJob t WHERE t.jobId = ?]. Positional parameter are considered deprecated; use named parameters or JPA-style positional parameters instead.

Please advise.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

did you check:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-858772080.html

Did you set secure to true?

Best
