Product: Confluence
Environment
| Operating System | |
|---|---|
| Affect Version/s | 2.6.1 |
| JVM | |
| Database | MySQL 5.x |
| Application Server | Tomcat 5.5.x |
Error Message
Usually there is no error message in the tomcat logs
Symptom
Running confluence behind a Apache Web Server (using mod_proxy or mod_jk).
Click on Plugin Repository get spinning progress icon and then "Invalid reply from server"
Diagnostics/Test
Able to edit in Rich text editor but when you click on Wiki Markup tab or Preview tab there is a brief flash of the progress icon but nothing happens.
Additionally, in the Administration pages, if I click on Plugin Repository I simply get the spinning progress icon and then an error message "Invalid reply from server"
Root Cause
Apache is configured incorrectly.
Solution
You will need to check your Apache configuration. Check the document Running Confluence behind Apache.
For those using Mod_jk refer to Configuring Tomcat's URI encoding as you may need to add
JkOptions +ForwardURICompatUnparsed
to your <apache>/conf/httpd.conf file to handle UTF-8 characters.
