Confluence 2.8 : Confluence Home Directory
This page last changed on Mar 12, 2008 by smaddox.
Often in the documentation, you'll see a reference to the 'Confluence Home directory'. What is the Confluence Home Directory?The Confluence Home directory is the folder where Confluence stores its configuration information, search indexes and page attachments. If you're using the embedded HSQLDB database supplied for evaluation purposes, the database files are also stored in this directory. You can also read about the contents of the Home directory. The Confluence Home directory is different from the Confluence Installation Directory. Finding the Confluence Home DirectoryThe location of the Confluence Home directory is defined when you install Confluence. This location is stored in a configuration file called confluence-init.properties, which is located inside the confluence/WEB-INF/classes directory in your Confluence Installation directory. When Confluence first starts up, it reads the confluence-init.properties file to determine where to look for the Home directory. RELATED TOPICSImportant Directories and Files |
