Confluence Docs 2.10 : Known Issues for Websphere
This page last changed on Apr 28, 2008 by jlargman.
Version RequirementsTo run Confluence on Websphere, you will need to be running Confluence 1.4.2 or higher, against Websphere 5.1.1 with fixpack 3 or higher installed (5.1.1.3 or higher). There are known issues running Confluence against earlier versions of Websphere. Websphere and OracleConfluence can not currently use Websphere datasources to access an Oracle database. This is because in order to effectively store pages in the database, Confluence needs access to the raw Oracle connection object, rather than the wrapper that Websphere places around it. This is a known problem. For more information, please visit the CONF-3580. The workaround is to avoid using a Websphere datasource. Use Confluence's internal connection pool instead — choose the "Direct JDBC Connection" option during setup). Websphere on Windows platform
TroubleshootingI can not view any Confluence page with a space in the title Please see Fix 'Page Not Found' errors for pages with spaces in the title. When I visit some URL, I get a blank page This is a known issue, caused when you visit a page in Confluence that does not exist. Confluence's "Page Not Found" error page is not being displayed correctly by Websphere. For more information, please visit CONF-3487. I am having trouble with the £ and € characters Confluence allows you to specify which character encoding should be used for its requests. To use the £ and € characters, you will need to use the "UTF-8" option. However, in some cases, WebSphere will encode the characters using ISO-8859-1 before they get to Confluence. If you have set the Confluence character encoding to "UTF-8" and are having problems, have a look at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/j2ee/encoding.jsp for an explaination of WebSphere and Character encoding. In particular, the -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8 system property allows you to override WebSpheres defaults. I get a 500 error when viewing pages that have a url with '~' character such as personal spaces and profiles If you are using siteminder along with Websphere then you may have the issue outlined by this knowledge base entry. RSS feeds throw java.lang.VerifyError or PDF export throws java.lang.LinkageError Websphere and Confluence have class loading conflicts that cause these errors. Read more about it in CONF-10088. |
