As this install of Confluence is powered by Tomcat we can front Confluence with the Apache Web Server.

Enable Tomcat AJP Connector

First we must enable the standard port 9009 in the Confluence Tomcat by editing /opt/confluence/conf/server.xml.

...

useURIValidationHack="false" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

        <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" />

        <Engine name="Standalone"

Select and Enable Context Path

Often you want to use the Apache Web Server to front more than one web application. In order to do this you want each web application to work within it's own context. This is pretty standard in most java applications. As such, we will pick a context path, in this case "wiki". As such the original url, http://localhost:8080/ changes to http://localhost:8080/wiki

Modify the bundled Confluence Tomcat Context directive and change the attribute path="" to path="/wiki",

<Context path="/wiki" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"> 

This change does not take effect until the Confluence service stopped and started again. We will do that in the the next section.
