The Confluence EAR-WAR distribution is intended for deployment into an existing J2EE application server.

To use this method of installation, you or your application server administrator must already know how to deploy a web application on the application server of choice. If not, please use the Confluence Standalone distribution instead.

System Requirements for Confluence EAR-WAR Distribution

  1. Please check the Confluence system requirements.
  2. In addition to the above requirements, the EAR-WAR distribution requires an application server. For more information on Confluence's supported application servers, please refer to our Supported Platforms page.
  3. If deploying as an unexploded WAR, Ant 1.3 or later is required. This is bundled with the war download.
  4. Confluence, the database and application server must use the same character encoding. UTF-8 is recommended.
  5. If you are installing Confluence EAR-WAR on Unix, Linux or Solaris, please ensure that the required X11 libraries are installed.

Follow the Application-Specific Instructions

Notes

  • If you deploy Confluence on an unsupported server, server-related issues cannot be covered by Atlassian technical support. You can try the user forums for assistance instead.
  • Deploying multiple Atlassian applications in a single Tomcat container is not supported. We do not test this configuration and upgrading any of the applications (even for point releases) is likely to break it. There are also a number of known issues with this configuration (see this FAQ for more information).

    We also strongly recommend that you do not deploy multiple Atlassian applications in a single Tomcat container for a number of practical reasons. Firstly, you will need to shut down Tomcat to upgrade any application and secondly, if one application crashes, the other applications running in the Tomcat container will be inaccessible.
