Cloned Server is not reachable

[Ramy]

Hi all

I have cloned our prod server as a stage env. It has the same hardware, software, configuration and network setup.

I have followed the following steps from this tutorial: https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf713/create-a-staging-environment-for-upgrading-confluence-1077914833.html

I also followed the tutorial how to create a new server id to avoid conflict with linked product: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-change-the-server-id-of-confluence-211649693.html

Our server runs as a windows service and it works fine.

Only if restart the stage server I see the following logs:

Now if I open the browser on the server and type http://localhost:8090 it forward me to the correct domain https://<my-test-domain>/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action&permissionViolation=true 

But I can't see the login page... I only see that the page can't be reached...

Do you have any idea?

I am truly grateful for any kind of information and help

Thank you 

Ramy

If your web browser can't reach the page, it could be:

• DNS issues (can you do an nslookup or ping of <my-test-domain> and does it resolve the correct IP address?)
• Firewall issues (is your server set up to allow access on port 443?)
• Do you have a proxy server set up for your staging server? Typically Confluence runs on port 8090, but then some kind of proxy server responds on port 443 to securely forward requests to that port.

Here's some more troubleshooting ideas from Atlassian:

Hi @Darryl Lee 

Thanks a lot for replying to my issue. It helped me a bit :) I have found out, that I have to call the page like this: http://localhost:8090/dologin.action 

I can see the login page, but I'm not able to login... I'm using the same user as PROD env and we are using the cloned database of PROD.
