Confluence server could not connect or access to JIRA server. This typically occurs when JIRA has not whitelisted the Confluence server or IP address, despite both of them located within the same server. There could also be a proxy or firewall that blocks such access from Confluence to JIRA.
Resolution
- Ensure that Confluence server URL (or IP address) has been added to JIRA User Server or whitelist settings
Configure any proxy or firewall that might block such access. You might want to follow this method Configuring Web Proxy Support for Confluence.
