Changing the Server ID

If you are migrating a Confluence instance to a new server and the Server ID was not changed after a full restore.

Check the confluence.cfg.xml located in the confluence-data directory there will be a line listed.

Stop Confluence and make sure to do a back up of this server ID as it can make your confluence unusable if you make a mistake.

<property name="confluence.setup.server.id">XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX</property>

Change the Server ID in this line and save it. Now you will need to make sure it is also in the confluence database.

Login to your confluence database, here is how it can be done with postgres user.

sudo -u postgres psql postgres
\connect DBNAME

Now check the server ID and then change it if needed.

select * from BANDANA where bandanakey = 'confluence.server.id';
 bandanaid | bandanacontext |      bandanakey      |             bandanavalue   
-----------+----------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------
         4 | _GLOBAL        | confluence.server.id | <string>BBP9-O5SW-YSZW-GWLR</string>
(1 row)

Update the ID if it does not match the ID in confluence.cfg.xml.

update BANDANA set bandanavalue = '<string>XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX</string>' where bandanakey = 'confluence.server.id';

Now start confluence and check the License Details for your changes and update your License key accordingly.
