The Server Base URL is the URL via which users access Confluence. The base URL must be set to the same URL by which browsers will be viewing your Confluence site.

Confluence will autodetect the base URL during setup, but you may need to set it manually if your site's URL changes, or if you set up Confluence from a different URL to the one that will be used to access it publicly.

You need to have System Administrator permissions in order to perform this function.

To configure the Server Base URL,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
  2. Click the 'Edit' button next to 'Site Configuration'.
  3. Enter the new URL in the 'Server Base URL' text box.
  4. 'Save' your changes.
.

If you configure a different base URL, or if visitors use some other URL to access Confluence, it is possible that you may encounter errors while viewing some pages.

Example

If Confluence is installed to run in a non-root context path, the server base URL should include the context path. For example, if Confluence is running at http://www.foobar.com/confluence, the server base URL will be http://www.foobar.com/confluence.
