Problems setting up a Confluence wiki at https://www.mydomain.com/wiki

[Nathan Wailes]

Hi,

I've been using Confluence for about 4 years now in one way or another, and I have a personal Confluence Cloud instance.

Yesterday I bought a license for a server-hosted instance of Confluence that I want to use for my DigitalOcean-hosted online business (https://www.rhymecraft.guru/).

I was able to install it and get it running, but:

1. It's accessible at the DigitalOcean server's IP address (http://XXX.XX.XXX.XX), but not at the https-forcing (via Cloudflare) domain name that points to that IP address (https://www.rhymecraft.guru).

2. I want the wiki to be accessed at https://www.rhymecraft.guru/wiki, without needing to use a port number as part of the URL (so I guess that would mean making it work on port 443 for HTTPS).

At one point I was able to get it working at http://XXX.XX.XXX.XX/wiki (so, using port 80 and being at /wiki), but somehow I've broken something since then, and even that's not working now.
