. The Confluence version use for this guide is 2.10.1.
Prerequisite
Preparation
- Download the latest Standalone version of Confluence here
- Request an evaluation key here (a Sign-Up is required!)
Installation
- Extract the Confluence archive (confluence-2.10.1.std.zip) to a directory (ex: C:\ ). The archive already include a directory like confluence-2.10.1-std, so the result of the extraction will give us the final directory C:\confluence-2.10.1-std that will represent the confluence.home throughout this guide.
- Edit the file confluence.home\confluence\WEB-INF\classes\confluence-init.properties :
- Uncomment the confluence.home key at the end of the file
- Update the value to a directory to store the Confluence data (ex: C:/confluence-2.10.1-std/data). Use / instead of \ for directory separator. This directory will be created by Confluence on start if it doesn't exist.
