Confluence 4.0 : Separate the Home and Install directories in Confluence 3.2
This page last changed on Apr 30, 2010 by pkamal.
It's recommended to create the 'Home' directory separately from the 'Install' directory, however if you've already combined the two directories this will help you untangle them... 1. Stop Confluence2. Backup your current home/installation directory3. Create a new blank home directory (parent only, no sub-directories)4. Move the following files/directories to the new home directory
5. There are two sub-directories which will need to be created in the home directory:
It's fine to leave this empty, however if you want to keep your existing confluence log move the atlassian-confluence.log file from the existing 'logs' directory to the newly created one
This is also fine to leave empty 6. Edit the confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties file to reflect the new home directory path (the one created in Step 3)7. Start ConfluenceDid it work? If you've followed the steps correctly, your new installation and home directories should look like this: Home Install You should have no problems starting Confluence, and the log files should be updated as normal. If Confluence tries to load a new site (such as in a new installation) you'll need to confirm that the home directory path is specified correctly in confluence-init.properties. If you find you're unable to search or the recently updated menu isn't showing any content try rebuilding your search index via Confluence Admin > Content Indexing |
