create alias or redirection

Macors Romain May 6, 2025

Hello everybody

I create a new server confluence for a collegue and i move her space in the new server.

The problem is that she used links and now she has to change all the links on our intranet.

Is it possible to use alias for redirection ?

exemple :

if you write "http://oldserver:8090/display/DU/Accueil+Documentation+Utilisateurs" you are automatically redirect to "http://newserver:8090/display/DU/Accueil+Documentation+Utilisateurs"

Thanks

@Macors Romain there is a Data Center app that might be helpful - Redirect for Confluence.

We make Redirection by Easy Apps but it is cloud only.

@Macors Romain Are you saying that you want to redirect for:

  1. Links in other spaces in "oldserver" to the space that has been moved to "newserver"? I'm not sure if the base URL change suggested by @Victor Law would work, as you only want to redirect for the single space. Can you hyperlink from one server instance to another? There used to be a Search and Replace app for this, but it is no longer available, since Confluence Server reached end-of-life in February 2024.
  2. Links on your intranet (SharePoint or other) to the space? Do a web search for how to redirect links in whatever tool you use for instructions.

Hi @Macors Romain

Have you updated the base URL in the Confluence application after the server migration?

Perhaps you may refer to the following document on how to find and replace all the hard-coded URLs in Confluence via DB:

Thank you.
