Confluence 2.2.9-#527 README
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for downloading Confluence 2.2.9 - Standalone distribution.  This
distribution comes with a built-in Tomcat 5.5.15 web server and hsql
database, so it runs (almost) out the box.


BRIEF INSTALL GUIDE
-------------------
1. Download "J2SE v1.4.2_10 SDK" from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.
   Note: The latest version may have increased, but the most important thing is to get the SDK version. Not the JRE.

2. Set the JAVA_HOME variable to where you installed Java. Full instructions here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/vyI

3. Edit confluence\WEB-INF\classes\confluence-init.properties and set the
   confluence.home property to a directory of your choice.

   This directory is where Confluence will store it's configuration information,
   indexes and attachments.

4. Run bin/startup.sh (*nix) or bin\startup.bat (Windows). Check that there
   are no errors on the console.  See below for troubleshooting advice.

5. Point your browser at http://localhost:8080/
   You should see the Confluence Setup Wizard.


ERRORS
------
A common startup problem is when another program has claimed port 8080, which
Confluence is configured to run on by default.  To avoid this port conflict,
Confluence's port can be changed in conf/server.xml.

If you encounter any errors, please report them to support
(mailto:confluence-support@atlassian.com).
