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 automatically detect 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,
- In Confluence, open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' will open.
- Click 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
- Click the 'Edit' button next to 'Site Configuration'.
- Enter the new URL in the 'Server Base URL' text box.
- '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. |

Say I create four spaces: one, two, three, four
I want to run http://one.foobar.com/ two.foobar.com three.foobar.com four.foobar.com, and as each group logs in they see their space.
This won't work right?
Is there a workaround for this?
Can the base URL be set according to the server.xml file, where you can enter multiple hosts?

To confirm, Confluence does not support such configuration as discussed here.
Unfortunately, there is no workaround. Also, each instance of Confluence is limited to one base URL.
Regards,
David
