Then, place the JDBC Driver postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc4.jar into the <confluence-install-path>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib folder.

Install Confluence

Core Package

Download the tar.gz install package and decompress it,

sudo - svradm # if you are not already
gunzip confluence-3.2-std.tar.gz
tar -xvpf confluence-3.2-std.tar
sudo mv ./confluence-3.2-std /opt/ # You want to use specific version numbers as part of your folder name. This will make upgrade easier in the future.

Java

I use a manual Java setup.

Next, we make the symbolic link directory. Scripts and anything else you do will use the symbolic link directory. When the new version of Confluence comes along you have various options for upgrading.

cd /opt
sudo ln -s ./confluence-3.2-std ./confluence

Also we need to create home directory,

cd ~
mkdir confluence-data # We don't use specific version numbers here because the data will actually be upgraded
sudo mv confluence-data /opt/

Set the home directory by modifying the files, ../confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties, go to the bottom of the file,
