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.

To configure the Server Base Url,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click on 'General Configuration' in the left panel.

  2. Click 'Edit' at the bottom of the 'Options and Settings' screen.

  3. Beside 'Server Base URL', enter the new url.

  4. 'Save' your changes.
.

Warning

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.

Question: If Confluence is installed to run in a non-root context path, does the server base URL include the context path? For example, if Confluence is running at 'http://www.foobar.com/confluence', is the server base URL supposed to be 'http://www.foobar.com/confluence' or 'http://www.foobar.com'? And is there or is there not supposed to be a trailing '/'? The documentation is a little vague...
