Symptoms

When going through the Confluence Setup Wizard, the Choose a Database Configuration screen is skipped and the embedded HSQLDB is automatically chosen. The Confluence Setup Wizard then skips directly to the User Management screen.

Diagnosis

This only occurs when Production Installation is selected and an evaluation license is entered in. Affects Confluence 5.6 and 5.6.1.

Cause

Using an evaluation license causes the setup wizard to default to the Trial Installation, even after selecting Production Installation 

Resolution

  • Please refer to CONF-34288 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Use Confluence 5.6.3 or above.
