Confluence Windows and Linux Installer - Ignored custom listen port setting

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Icon: Medium Medium
    • 5.7.1, 5.7-OD-42-046
    • 5.5.6-beta1, 5.5.6, 5.6.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5, 5.7
    • None
    • OS: Windows 7 64bit
      DB: Postgres
      Installed Products: Jira, Stash, Confluence

      Installed using the windows 64bit installer and the included Apache Tomcat server

      Original Description

      When installing confluence I set the listen port to 8096 because jira was already set up on 8090. When I closed the installer my browser poped up with a page not found message.

      I later attempted to open jira and the confluence startup page was visible.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install Confluence 5.6.0 and configure a custom port
      2. Upgrade to 5.6.1 using the installer, and confirm that the port is preserved
      3. Upgrade to 5.6.5 and confirm that the port is now back to the default of 8090 in the server.xml

      Fix

      Edit the server.xml and correct the port number. You can find the old port number in the server.xml in the installation directory backup created by the installer.

            Howdy Terry!

            The solution is to manually change the ports that Confluence is listening to, by editing <confluence_install>/conf/server.xml as documented at Change listen port for Confluence.

            I don't see where the solution is mentioned?

            Just upgraded to v5.6.4 few days ago, running on Linux (*.bin) for both x86 and x84-64. After upgrade, when haproxy / nginx started throwing up (as did I...though perhaps could have been the week old donut I found in my rucksack and ate) a simple

            {netstat -nap}

            revealed that the installer had replaced "8080" with "8090" — easy to fix, but can be confusing / conducive to trepidation.

            Hey, +10 is better right? (Or for "Spinal Tap", akin to "it goes up to 11!"

            I have verified that the 5.6.3 installer for Linux also exhibits this behavior.
