I've installed Atlassian Confluence to my dedicated server (hosted on softlayer.com). I use Windows 2008R2 with IIS7. By default, Atlassian Confluence is installed and works fine on localhost:8009 (not port 80). But I want it to get accessible from some friendly URL such as http://docs.mysite.com

How can I do it? Where can it be configured? Some DNS? CNAME?

If you want to have this installation externally visible then there are two things you'll want to do:

  • Create a DNS record to point to the IP of the server - this will allow your visitors to access the server via http://docs.example.com/
  • Configure your webserver such that you don't need to use the external port.
    • If you were using Apache I'd suggest you look at mod_proxy, for IIS I'm hazier on what would be required.

You can use Application Request Routing and URL Rewrite to automatically redirect the users to port 8009 without them having to type it - and without them seeing what port they are actually connected to - the article below gives you the basic idea of how to do this.
