Running Confluence on port 80 or 443 using mod_proxy_ajp
Okay, I use Confluence a lot, and think despite some of its failings in the UI department (Although they are being addressed as version 2.8 shows) its a excellent Enterprise Wiki.
Now, not wanting to arse around with Tomcat all the time, I use the standalone build generally as its quite sufficient for my purposes. The problems arise when we have remote workers, whom are behind restrictive firewall policies. So that means I have to provide the service on 443. Now you could spend a bit of time configuring Tomcat to run on said port, but thats not recommended, plus you may want to use other technologies such a PHP etc. So here is a quick how to on getting confluence up and running on port 443 on Suse Enterprise Server 10 (Al tough the same applies to most Linux distros with the exception of the convoluted config Novell apply to Apache). This post presumes you already have installed Confluence standalone and its running fine.

Tibet Spam
Recently I published a brief post on Freeing Tibet and since then the amount of abusive comments and email I have gotten has raised considerably.
While I will approve comments both for and against the freeing of Tibet, I will only do so should they be what I deem legitimate. I.e. They do not appear to be copy paste jobs, refrain from abuse and are sensible comments.
Otherwise, please bugger off. I’m not intersted in being a fora for the promotion of your sites. In particular, posters from;
- 168.144.250.89
- 206.155.48.217
- 128.221.197.21
have been banned (not that it will make much difference) but sure I may as well do something at the FW level seening as I was working on it anyhow.
