Hi All,

We get this message while exporting single space from Confluence server 6.14.3 connected to MYSQL 5.7.

Your request could not be processed because a required security token was not present in the request. You may need to re-submit the form or reload the page.

 

Unchecked compress http response, xsrf protection adding comments and increased confluence time out to 180

Hi Ash,

(Based on your last comment) Just confirming you've tried following this KB - https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/exporting-a-page-in-confluence-results-in-your-request-could-not-be-processed-because-a-required-security-token-was-not-present-in-the-request-error-794370691.html

Otherwise, is your Confluence behind a reverse proxy? You can try increasing the timeout of your reverse proxy.

An alternative is to try disabling Websudo temporarily to see if space export works: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-secure-administrator-sessions-218269595.html

Thanks for your reply.  We are not behind reverse proxy. I already tested with the first option and configured XSRF protection as well.

Still no luck :-(

Just to test a few different things:

  • Can you try clearing your browser cache and then trying the export again?
  • Failing that, can you try a different browser that has never accessed Confluence before to see if that works?
  • If that does't work either, can you try exporting only a subset of pages instead of the whole space?

If the space is too large then it's possible a timeout is causing this issue.
