It is a centralized place where you and your team members can work together on projects. With Confluence you can add custom features via plugins, integrate Microsoft Office and SharePoint, easily edit and publish project related tasks and more. Installing Confluence on CentOS 7, is an easy task and should take less than 15 minutes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h5><strong>REQUIREMENTS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>We will be using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/centos-hosting.html\">CentOS 7 Linux VPS template<\/a> for this tutorial. Before proceeding you should <a href=\"https:\/\/confluence.atlassian.com\/doc\/system-requirements-126517514.html\">check the system requirements for Confluence.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The server on which you will install Confluence will need a working LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL &amp; PHP) stack installed. So if you need to install LAMP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-lamp-linux-apache-mariadb-php-on-centos-7\/\">you can do that by following our excellent tutorials.<\/a>\u00a0 However, do not install MariaDB as shown in the tutorial since Confluence supports MySQL instead of MariaDB . We will cover the MySQL installation later in this article.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d0a771ce75\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d0a771ce75\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-confluence-on-centos-7\/#1-Update-the-system\" title=\"1.

You can change this and the URI path in the <em><strong>server.xml<\/strong><\/em> file. And indeed, we need to change the URL from which we will access Confluence. Therefore, enter the <em><strong>conf<\/strong><\/em> directory:<\/p>\n<pre># cd \/opt\/atlassian\/confluence\/conf<\/pre>\n<p>However, you need to shutdown Confluence first and then edit the <em><strong>server.xml<\/strong><\/em> file.<\/p>\n<pre># sh \/opt\/atlassian\/confluence\/bin\/shutdown.sh\r\n\r\n# nano server.xml<\/pre>\n<p>Now, find the <em><strong>&#8216;localhost&#8217;<\/strong><\/em> value and replace it with your server IP address.<\/p>\n<p>Save and exit the file. Next step is to configure a MySQL datasource connection for Confluence. In order to do that, you need to install the MySQL JDBC driver. Below is the procedure to do that. Execute the below commands:<\/p>\n<pre># cd \/opt\r\n# wget http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/get\/Downloads\/Connector-J\/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35.tar.gz\r\n# tar -zxvf mysql-connector-java-5.1.35.tar.gz\r\n# cd \/opt\/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35\r\n# mv mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar \/opt\/atlassian\/confluence\/confluence\/WEB-INF\/lib\/<\/pre>\n<p>With these commands you are downloading the JDBC driver in the <em><strong>\/opt<\/strong><\/em> directory, extracting it and then move the unpacked jar file in the appropriate Confluence directory (<em><strong>\/opt\/atlassian\/confluence\/confluence\/WEB-INF\/lib\/<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Next, edit the <em><strong>server.xml<\/strong><\/em> file again:<\/p>\n<pre># nano \/opt\/atlassian\/confluence\/conf\/server.xml<\/pre>\n<p>Find the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>&lt;Context path=\"\" docBase=\"..\/confluence\" debug=\"0\" reloadable=\"true\"&gt;\r\n \u00a0 &lt;!-- Logger is deprecated in Tomcat 5.5.
