Hi,
is there another way to know the file names of the attachment files found in the actual attachment folder in confluence? the folder contains bunch of folders with numbers as foldername, and inside are files without file extension. now, i am guessing that this is where all the attachment goes because I found the path in confluence admin > configuration > attachment storage.
I also have access to the database and I can do some SQL queries if need be.
What I have done so far:
> do a query in the backend
- select attachmentid from attachments where title = 'filename.jpg'
> search the attachmentid in the physical folder.
But I am still not able to find that file. I am now thinking that I may have permanently deleted the file or my method in doing this is incorrect.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
James
Hi James, you can refer to the following documentation which explains how to find this file: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Hierarchical+File+System+Attachment+Storage
And you can use the following SQL to query for all attachment paths for a given spacekey:
select '/ver003/' || cast(substring(cast(spaceid as VARCHAR), length(cast(spaceid as VARCHAR)) - 2, 3) as INT) % 250 || '/' || cast(substring(cast(spaceid as VARCHAR), length(cast(spaceid as VARCHAR)) - 5, 3) as INT) % 250 || '/' || cast(spaceid as VARCHAR) || '/' || cast(substring(cast(pageid as VARCHAR), length(cast(pageid as VARCHAR)) - 2, 3) as INT) % 250 || '/' || cast(substring(cast(pageid as VARCHAR), length(cast(pageid as VARCHAR)) - 5, 3) as INT) % 250 || '/' || cast(pageid as VARCHAR) || '/' || contentid || '/' || version as path, spaceid, contentid, title, pageid, version from content where contenttype = 'ATTACHMENT' and spaceid = (select spaceid from spaces where spacekey = '<SPACE_KEY>');
