Setting up Atlasssian Confluence (or indeed any Atlassian product) running under OsX Server 10.5 is not covered in any great detail in their installation documentation.

After downloading the WAR version of Confluence, this will automatically be expanded into a directory something like :

move the "confluence" directory inside the expanded directory to "/Library/Tomcat/webapps", and then make a new file "/Library/Tomcat/conf/confluence.xml" with the following content :

<Context path="/confluence" docBase="/Library/Tomcat/webapps/confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>

In the Tomcat Manager "/Confluence" should now have popped up as a application, even though you now have to set up a base directory for Confluence somewhere...
