I always like starting with Confluence. It gives me the most feeling of success when done.
So, lets start. First thing, is to revisit the database server and create ourselves a confluence database. Commands are in bold.
(if you haven’t given yourself root do this command instead: sudo -u Root su – postgres)
[root@PostGresDB1 ~]# su – postgres

-bash-4.2$ psql
psql (9.2.10)
Type “help” for help.
postgres=# create role confly login password ‘pickastrongoneandtypeithere’;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# create database confdb encoding ‘UTF8’ owner con fly;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \l

Install Confluence
download latest version from atlassian’s website and scp file over to the confluence server
example use of scp:
scp /usr/test/working/Test1 [email protected]:/usr/me/directory1/working/Test1
| | | | | |
Source Dir | | Remote Svr | Remote File (optional)
Source File | Remote Directory (optional)
Remote User
from my mac terminal window:
ssh -p 29 [email protected]
once connected, create a directory on the confluence server to receive the file
mkdir ConfInstall
(new console window – copy file up.)
Gregorys-MacBook-Pro:downloads gvandenham$ scp -P 29 atlassian-confluence-5.8.4-1-x64.bin [email protected]:/home/gvandenham/ConfInstall/
[email protected]’s password:
atlassian-confluence-5.8.4-1-x64.bin 4% 19MB 3.0MB/s 02:01 ETA
(back on the conf server)
[gvandenham@Confluence01 ~]$ cd ConfInstall
[gvandenham@Confluence01 ConfInstall]$ ls
atlassian-confluence-5.8.4-1-x64.bin
We’ll change permissions on the file here so we can execute it.
[gvandenham@Confluence01 ConfInstall]$ chmod a+x atlassian-confluence-5.8.4-1-x64.bin
[gvandenham@Confluence01 ConfInstall]$
and with the ./ magic we execute the file as root.
gvandenham@Confluence01 ConfInstall]$ sudo -u root ./atlassian-confluence-5.8.4-1-x64.bin
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Go into azure and open some ports 😉
browse to the site http://address:8090
select the products to install
add some licenses
Get your Server License ID from confluence licensing page – it will ask for server ID
Select the database – postgreSQl
Stop for a second and add the endpoint in Azure for port 5432 (postgresql database) and check the database server for ports in use

Find the postgreSQL config file
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 /]$ sudo -u root find -name postgresql.conf
[sudo] password for gvandenham:
./var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
./usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 /]$
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 var]$ sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
in VI, use cursor arrows to scroll, get to the right spot press ‘i’ to edit
remove the # comment at start of line, change localhost to * in listen_addresses, then hit esc.
press ZZ to save and exit
restart the service
sudo service postgresql restart
check the port utilized with netstat -nlp | grep 5432
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 var]$ netstat -nlp | grep 5432
(No info could be read for “-p”: geteuid()=1000 but you should be root.)

If successful, will stall out on this page for a few minutes while database is being created.
if you get an error below, fix the pg_hba.conf postgresql file.
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 var]$ sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
add a host line to IPv4 with the IP address of the host that is connecting and since its using a password, method is md5. save the file and restart the service
Restart the service:
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 var]$ sudo service postgresql restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart postgresql.service
[gvandenham@PostGresDB1 var]$
I choose empty site
this page will stall for a minute and then continue loading
Further config takes you to the admin panel
