Newly created Confluence space does not appear in the Confluence space directory.

Problem

When creating a project containing a Confluence space, the newly created space is not shown in the Space directory list, even though the project creation was successful.

This is a known issue and it has been reported to Atlassian. This problem appears in for JIRA 6, as we use XML-RPC method to import the space template. You can follow this issue here : https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-32186.

This problem is fixed in Gaia for JIRA 1.5 (JIRA 7). See  GAIA-1 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Solutions :

  1. Locate the space manually:
    • In Confluence, from the Spaces menu item on the top menu bar, open the Space Directory
    • Locate your space in the "Site Spaces" section (it should be at the end of the list)
    • Click the "Add Space to Favourites" star alongside the space name. This will make it appear in your space directory;

2. Force the new space URL in the address bar.

3. Rebuild the search index of your Confluence database

    • For this, you need the system administrator to go at /confluence/admin/search-indexes.action
    • Click on Rebuild. This may take a while.
