Confluence : Attachment Storage Configuration
This page last changed on Apr 01, 2007 by mryall.
Confluence 2.2 introduces the ability to store Attachments in one of three places. Local filesystemIn the past, Confluence has stored Attachments in the attachments directory within the configured Confluence home folder. This remains the default in version 2.2. DatabaseConfluence 2.2 gives administrators the option to store attachments in the database that Confluence is configured to use. There are a number of reasons why, as an administrator, you may want to choose this storage system:
WebDAVConfluence also allows administrators to set a WebDAV repository as the location for Attachment storage. Migration between Attachment storage systemsAn improvement introduced in Confluence 2.2 is the ability to "migrate" between different Attachment storage systems. All existing Attachments will be moved over to the new Attachment storage system.
To perform a migration, follow the steps below: 1. View the 'Administration Console' 2. Click on 'Attachment Storage'. The current configuration will be displayed.
3. Click on the 'Edit' button to modify the configuration. Select the storage system you desire.
4. Click on the 'Save' button to save the changes. 5. A screen will appear, asking you to confirm your changes. Clicking 'Migrate' will take you to a screen that displays the progress of the migration.
TroubleshootingTo enable debug logging for WebDAV attachment storage, add the following to the bottom of WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties and restart Confluence: log4j.logger.com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao=DEBUG,confluencelog log4j.additivity.com.atlassian.confluence.pages.persistence.dao=false log4j.logger.org.apache.webdav=DEBUG,confluencelog log4j.additivity.org.apache.webdav=false RELATED TOPICS
