How do i access my confluence server after changing the base URL?

[Pedro Paulino]

I installed the server on a windows vm, then changed the base url from localhost:8090 to wiki.mydomain.com:8090 I was able to log on through wiki.mydomain.com:8090 until i restarted the server. Now I can ping the machine, and confluence is running, but i have no access to it through the browser. where did i do wrong?

I used this guide after i couldnt log on, https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-server-base-url-148592.html , but it just confused me more.

What error do you get on-screen?  "no access to it" is totally useless as an error report.

I'm getting a 404 error. The netstat -tuplen gives me nothing relevant. I reinstalled confluence and that worked for a bit, then this morning it did not work again. I have no idea what I'm doing at this point, this application has me bored and frustrated with how finicky it is.

404 means the server isn't serving up a page at that location.

I suspect you've either not set up the network correctly, so that it's not routing you to the right place, or that the service is down.  If the service is down, then you need to look at the logs to see why.

Thank you for all the prompt help. I checked the logs and it was an issue making a connection to the database.

@Pedro Paulino

Did you check the confluence log files?

Can you provide the output of 

netstat -tuplen
